The Drownings' Argument

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

The Drownings’ Argument is a small but powerful book that presents facts and logic about those who seek asylum and the policy of mandatory indefinite detention. The eight contributors to this text provide cogent detail, humanity and sanity.

Situations such as the tragic plight of thousands of Rohingya people fleeing persecution in Myanmar; the arguments over the mental and physical wellbeing of asylum seekers excommunicated on Manus Island and Nauru and the recent reports of sexual abuse of adults and children in detention can only evoke feelings of anger and shame among humane citizens in Australia.

Whether you are for, against or confused about offshore processing I heartily recommend this book as a source of thought, hope and argument without rhetoric.
