Generosity and Refugees : the Kosovars in Exile

This book is a work of history studying the social and political context encountered by Kosovar refugees fleeing their homeland to Australia at the height of the NATO-led war against Serbian forces in 1999. 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.
