Many people deserve my deep appreciation and gratitude for their wonderful support in helping me to author this book. My thanks, first and foremost, go to the South Sudanese Australian community, its elders and the workers supporting the Sudanese community. Thank you for engaging with this research. I am especially grateful to all the participants who paused long enough to relate their experiences, to give invaluable insights and to entrust me with their stories. I hope this book justifies that trust. The research presented in this book is largely based on my PhD project. I am grateful to my PhD supervisors—Valerie Braithwaite and Jay Marlowe—for their sustained support, encouragement and critical engagement with my research. I would like to thank my amazing colleagues at the School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), The Australian National University, and the highly dedicated network of academics, students, activists, artists and others at the African Studies Association of Australasia and the Pacific (AFSAAP). I am grateful to all of you. Importantly, none of this woul
