HOPE: Refugees and their Supporters in Australia<br />
since 1947<br />
Written by <strong>Canberra</strong> author Ann-Mari Jordens, this book from Halstead Press includes the stories of twelve<br />
refugees who share harrowing memories of fleeing war, violence and persecution to embark on the search for<br />
a new home in a foreign land.<br />
These are people who have lost everything: their families, homes and dreams for the future. They tell of long<br />
and dangerous journeys to safety and recall their welcome to Australia with the challenges they faced and the<br />
love and generosity that greeted them. These candid accounts are from people who lived through the global<br />
crises we’ve read about for the past 60 years.<br />
This illustrated book also documents the work of the Australians who have had a hand in settling refugees in<br />
<strong>Canberra</strong> for decades, helping them rebuild their lives in an unfamiliar world.<br />
In a time when negativity dominates the refugee debate, it is inspiring to discover how Australia has helped<br />
people in distress, to learn about the contributions refugees have made to our community, and to acknowledge<br />
the people who helped them.<br />
