From the cover: "Multiculturalism does not create all Australians equally. Australia is a nation of striking ethnic diversity with an immigration program which has for forty years been incomparable in numbers and breadth of sources.The emergence of an official policy of multiculturalism is a crucial social indicator. The extent of immigration and renewed political claims by Aborigines spell the end of traditional forms of Australian national identity.But a 'fair go' is not available to all. Multiculturalism at the level of increased variety of restaurants is one thing. Yet it does not necessarily meet the needs of non-English speakers in the workplace, nor in educational and cultural institutions.These authors, who work together at the Centre for Multicultural Studies at Wollongong University, present a dynamic interpretation of Australian historv.And while they agree that all individuals and communities have the right to cultural autonomy, they challenge some of the received truths of multiculturalism and question the need to draw boundaries of inclusion and exclusion.Here is a book which is scholarly, provocative and extremely readable. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to readers to question and reflect upon what Australia is - or could be." Shipping:The shipping price includes postage and packaging.
