Boese, Martina, Marotta, Vince (Eds)(2017) Critical Reflections on Migration, ‘Race’ and Multiculturalism Australia in a Global Context, Routledge.
Migration and its associated social practices and consequences have been studied within a multitude of academic disciplines and in the context of policies at local, national and regional level. This edited collection provides an introduction and critical review of conceptual developments and policy contexts of migration scholarship within an Australian and global context
Scillio, Mark (2017) Making Career Stories. Navigating Work and a Sense of Security, Palgrave Macmillan
This book is about how people construct career stories: the stories we use to make sense of our work life. Mark Scillio explores the idea of security in the current turbulent employment climate, investigating employment experiences in developed, wealthy countries like Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom—where careers have become fragmented, complex, and uncertain.
Book Reviews
Please note, the review of Peter Beilharz’s book 'Thinking the Antipodes: Australian Essays', see below, was incorrectly listed last week as being reviewed by Mark Mallman. The details were taken from the Sage site and they have since amended that page. The reviewer was Graham Davidson.
