Abstract
In Smuggled: An Illegal History of Journeys to Australia, a chorus of migrant voices rejects the popular notion that the “people smuggler” is an exploitative evildoer. Belonging to a significant oral history tradition in Australian migration history, Ruth Balint and Julie Kalman’s book draws on oral testimonies to give a refreshing history-from-below. They contend that illegal acts have played crucial roles in facilitating the movement and survival of many who have come to call Australia home.
