FREEDOM ONLY FREEDOM - BEHROUZ BOOCHANI GEBUNDEN

Over six years of imprisonment in Australia's offshore migrant detention centre  the
Kurdish-Iranian journalist and writer Behrouz Boochani bore personal witness to the suffering
and degradation inflicted on him and his fellow refugees  culminating eventually in his
prize-winning book - No Friend but the Mountains. In the articles  essays  and poems he wrote
while detained  he emerged as both a tenacious campaigner and activist  as well as a deeply
humane voice which reflects the indignity and plight of the many thousands of detained migrants
across the world. In this book Boochani's collected writings are combined with essays from
experts on migration  refugee rights  politics  and literature. Together  they provide a moving
creative and challenging account of not only one writer's harrowing experience and inspiring
resilience  but the wider structures of violence which hold thousands of human beings in a
state of misery in migrant camps throughout Western nation-states and beyond.
