Transforming Lost Time into Migration Capital: Hazara Refugee Social and Cultural Capital Development in Indonesia
Refugees spend an average of 17 years living in limbo. This time is usually seen by refugees and scholars as ‘lost’ or ‘wasted’ time. Pierre Bourdieu theorized time as critical in accumulating social and cultural capital; foundations of socio-economic status. Families with greater economic capital can provide their offspring with more ‘time free from economic necessity’, enabling activities that will enhance their status. Time and economic capita…
The Impossibility of Home: Displacement and Border Practices in Times of Crisis
We launched the call for papers for this issue in March 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic was spreading rapidly around the globe, disrupting lives and stalling movement as country after country went into lockdown, and death tolls starkly revealed racial and economic inequalities within and between nations [...]
Crisis and Opportunity: Women, Youth and Ethnic Minorities’ Citizenship Practices During Refugee Transit in Indonesia
Art is my language: Afghan cultural production challenging Islamophobic stereotypes
Afghans and Afghanistan have, since September 11, risen to prominence in Western popular imagination as a land of tradition, tribalism and violence. Afghan women are assumed to be silent, submissive, and terrorised by Afghan men, who are seen as violent patriarchs driven by an uncompromising mediaeval religion. These Islamophobic tropes also inform perceptions of Afghans seeking asylum. In transit, identities are further reduced; asylum seekers l…

Human Rights and Refugee Protest against Immigration Detention: Refugees’ Struggles for Recognition as Human
When detainees go on hunger strike or riot or occupy the roofs of detention centres, their actions are usually narrated by governments keen to discredit them and their actions as criminal and manipulative and evidence of their barbarity and difference. A secondary, counter-narration is provided by detainee supporters who explain the actions as evidence of detainees’ distress and deteriorating mental health. The voices of the actors themselves, pe…
Asylum seekers and refugees in Indonesia: Problems and potentials
Asylum seekers and refugees in Indonesia increasingly experience protracted waiting times for permanent settlement in other countries. They have few, if any, legal rights, coupled with extremely limited financial resources and no access to government provided services. In response to the prospect of living for many years in this difficult and liminal space, a small community of refugees in the West Java town of Cisarua has built relationships, sk…
Globalization and third world women: Exploitation, coping and resistance
Globalization is a powerful force shaping international politics and trade. A 2003 Australian Government report proclaimed globalization as an unmitigated good, which has ‘reduced the number of peo
Ending Rape in War: How Far Have We Come
The rape of women has for centuries been an endemic feature of war, yet perpetrators largely go unpunished. Women were sanctioned as the spoils of war in biblical times and more recently it has been claimed that it is more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier in modern conflict. Nevertheless, until the establishment of the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia - there was very little concern regarding the …

Riotous Refugees or Systemic Injustice? A Sociological Examination of Riots in Australian Immigration Detention Centres
This article draws on testimony from refugees formerly held in Australian immigration detention centres who either participated in or witnessed riots in detention, alongside academic literature examining riots in a range of settings, to elucidate how and why riots happen in immigration detention. The article outlines a model of contextualizing and immediate preconditions for riots and then uses this model to analyse a series of riots which occurr…
Bodies ‘locked up’: Intersections of disability and race in Australian immigration
Between 2005 and 2006 it came to be known that over 200 people had been wrongfully detained in Australian immigration detention centres, of whom 13 were people with a disability. A review of the subsequent Commonwealth Ombudsman Reports into the wrongful detentions exposed an organizational culture in which othered voices were discredited and disregarded, an over‐willingness to detain a person and a lack of proper oversight of these powers. This …
Politics of exclusion, practice of inclusion: Australia's response to refugees and the case for community based human rights work
With increasingly exclusionary policies towards refugees and asylum seekers, Australia has experienced major growth in community based refugee support movements. This paper questions whether the nation state remains the best protector of human rights into the future given the increasing movement of people around the globe and the tension between sovereignty rights and the universal nature of human rights. The author proposes that the future hope …
Human rights and community work: Complementary theories and practices
English Much effort has been made to develop international understandings of human rights without the corresponding attention to responsibilities. The authors argue that a community development framework may be useful in reconceiving human rights in a more holistic way, and that social workers and community development workers are well placed to be grassroots human rights workers. French Beaucoup d'efforts ont été déployés pour développer une com…
Marriage of convenience’ or a ‘match made in heaven’: Lawyers and social workers working with asylum seekers
Asylum seekers face many hurdles during the process of refugee status determination, particularly if they have experienced some form of trauma. By preparing cases as a team, lawyers and social workers can reduce the stress for asylum seekers while at the same time improve the quality of information made available to decision makers within the refugee determination process. This article presents a model which utilises the knowledge and skills that…
