Offshore: Behind the wire on Manus and Nauru

What has happened on Nauru and Manus since Australia began its most recent offshore processing regime in 2012?

This essential book by Kaldor Centre member, Madeline Gleeson, provides a comprehensive and uncompromising overview of the first three years of offshore processing since it recommenced in 2012. It explains why offshore processing was re-established, what life is like for asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru and Manus, what asylum seekers, refugees and staff in the offshore detention centres have to say about what goes on there, and why the truth has been so hard to find.

Author Madeline Gleeson will be speaking about the book at the following events:
