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. 410 0$aBrill's Specials in Modern History$v2. 606 $aRefugees$zAustralia 606 $aRefugees$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aAlbanians$zKosovo (Republic) 606 $aKosovo War, 1998-1999$xRefugees 606 $aRefugees$xGovernment policy$zAustralia 606 $aRefugee camps$zAustralia 606 $aHumanitarian assistance$zAustralia 606 $aRepatriation$zKosovo (Republic) 610 $aKosovars in Australia. 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aAlbanians 615 0$aKosovo War, 1998-1999$xRefugees. 615 0$aRefugees$xGovernment policy 615 0$aRefugee camps 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance 615 0$aRepatriation 676 $a949.7103/151 700 $aCarr$b Robert$g(Historian and social researcher)$01384977 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796761403321 996 $aGenerosity and refugees$93842060 997 $aUNINA
