| Notes |
"What does an Australian look like? Many Australians assume that there is such a thing as an 'ethnic' face, and that it indicates recent arrival or refugee status. This volume contains nine life narratives by Australians who reflect on the experience of being categorised on the basis of their facial appearance" -- Back cover |
