Multiculturalism, Whiteness and Otherness in Australia

Meer over het boek

The exploration of race and ethnicity in Australia unfolds through an analysis of the decline of official multiculturalism. The book delves into the Australian state's formation, the influence of neoliberalism, and the dynamics of diversity and exclusion in 1980s Perth nightlife. It also examines Christianity's role in shaping multicultural limits, particularly regarding Islam and Australian Muslims. Further chapters highlight the exclusion faced by non-white groups, using films, music, and television to illustrate these experiences.
