The flight of the Kosovar refugees changed Australia's asylum seeker policy forever, and a new test for international humanitarianism had begun. Today refugee crises globally beg the international community to embrace a generosity of spirit. A question this book asks is whether there are limits to generosity, inhibited by nationally contextual and historical perspectives. Generosity and Refugees examines the role of the media in framing public understandings of refugees with intriguing parallels for understanding the contemporary political climate internationally.Brill's Specials in Modern History2.RefugeesAustraliaRefugeesKosovo (Republic)AlbaniansKosovo (Republic)Kosovo War, 1998-1999RefugeesRefugeesGovernment policyAustraliaRefugee campsAustraliaHumanitarian assistanceAustraliaRepatriationKosovo (Republic)Kosovars in Australia.RefugeesRefugeesAlbaniansKosovo War, 1998-1999Refugees.RefugeesGovernment policyRefugee campsHumanitarian assistanceRepatriation949.7103/151Carr Robert(Historian and social researcher)1384977NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910816948803321Generosity and refugees4047660UNINA
