Abstract

With 68.5 million forcibly displaced people worldwide (UNHCR, 2018), and with controversial political debates and policy decisions about refugees occurring in developed countries including Australia, the publication of Refugee Background Students Transitioning into Higher Education: Navigating Complex Spaces may be considered timely. For educators working with students from a refugee background, this well-researched book provides a challenging and comprehensive resource that sheds light on the complex issues surrounding the refugee journey into and through the Australian education system.
