English Title: Troubled Transit: Asylum Seekers Stuck in Indonesia
Troubled Transit considers the situation of asylum seekers stuck in limbo in Indonesia from a number of perspectives. It presents not only the narratives of many transit migrants but also the perceptions of Indonesian authorities and of representatives of international and non-government organizations responsible for the care of transiting asylum seekers. Fascinated by the extraordinary and seemingly limitless resilience shown by asylum seekers during their often lengthy and dangerous journeys, the author highlights one particular fragment of their journeys – their time in Indonesia, which many expect to be the last stepping stone to a new life. While they long for their new life to unfold, most asylum seekers become embroiled in the complexities of living in transit. Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is more than a location where people spend time waiting; it is a nation state that interacts with transiting asylum seekers and formulates policies that have a profound impact on their experience in transit there.
Troubled Transit melihat para pencari suaka yang terjebak di pengasingan Indonesia dari sejumlah sudut pandang. Buku ini menyajikan banyak cerita para migran transit dan persepsi otoritas Indonesia serta perwakilan-perwakilan organisasi internasional dan organisasi non-pemerintah yang bertanggung jawab dalam pengurusan pencari suaka. Kagum akan besarnya kegigihan para pencari suaka selama menempuh perjalanan mereka yang cukup panjang dan berbahaya, buku ini secara khusus berusaha menyoroti fragmen perjalanan tersebut – Indonesia, yang bagi banyak pencari suaka merupakan batu loncatan terakhir menuju kehidupan yang baru.
Saat keinginan untuk memperoleh hidup baru tak terbendung, banyak pencari suaka terjebak dalam kompleksitas kehidupan di transit. Indonesia, sebuah negara kepulauan yang memiliki lebih dari 17.000 pulau, lebih dari sekadar sebuah tempat di mana orang-orang menghabiskan waktu untuk menunggu; Indonesia merupakan negara-bangsa yang berinteraksi dengan para pencari suaka transit dan merumuskan kebijakan-kebijakan yang berdampak cukup besar bagi pengalaman para migran transit yang tinggal di sana. Troubled Transit berupaya untuk menjelaskan kompleksitas migrasi transit dari sudut pandang para migran dalam konteks pemerintah Indonesia dan tantangan politiknya, termasuk hubungannya dengan Australia. Dengan memperhatikan kebijakan-kebijakan Indonesia dan proses pembuatan kebijakan akan memberikan Indonesia relevansi yang lebih luas, sebagai sebuah negara transit dan sebagai mitra dalam skema perlindungan regional dan pengelolaan migrasi.
