Acknowledgements
Writing a book can, at times, be a solitary and isolating task, but it is never undertaken alone. The first to be acknowledged must be the men who shared their stories and insights with me. I wish I could name you all, as your courage, creativity, commitment to principles and sometimes sheer endurance deserve public acknowledgement. It is impossible to thank my mentor and colleague, Linda Briskman, enough. Linda’s knowledge of the field, shared passion for the topic, contacts, insights, feedback and unwavering support have been crucial in this project. I am particularly grateful though, for her wicked sense of humour, love of life and valued friendship. Mary Anne Kenny first introduced me to working with asylum seekers in detention and we have worked together at every opportunity since. She has a brilliant mind and a great, big heart. Kiran Grewal has read several chapters and provided helpful feedback, but more importantly, has helped further enrich my thinking around human rights, refugees, southern theories and ethics. My colleagues at the Centre for Human Rights Education at Curtin University and
