Given the restricted contact with the world outside of the immigration detention centre, the book juxtaposes forms and processes of technology-mediated communication between institutionalised detention, with those of displacement and settlement. It finds that while there are obstacles to communication in situations of conflict and dislocation, asylum seekers and refugees are able to 'make do' with the technology options available to them in ways which were less constrained than in detention settings. The book also outlines how communication practices during the settlement process focus on learning new technologies, and repairing the disconnections with family members resulting from separation and detention."--Publisher's website. 410 0$a830 UTS shopfront monograph series ;$vno 5$x1834 2035. 606 $aTelecommunication$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aCommunication and technology$zAustralia 606 $aPolitical refugees$zAustralia$xCommunication 606 $aRefugees$zAustralia$xCommunication 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCommunication and technology 615 0$aPolitical refugees$xCommunication. 615 0$aRefugees$xCommunication. 700 $aLeung$b Linda$0881421 702 $aLamb$b Cathryn Finney 702 $aEmrys$b Liz 801 0$bNjRocCCS 801 1$bNjRocCCS 801 2$bNTSM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409841603321 996 $aTechnology's refuge$92466507 997 $aUNINA
