Ever since the ‘Eureka Stockade’ of 1854 Australia has indulged in
periodic outbursts of nationalism. Thus, of Australia’s short history as a
European settler society, three quarters are characterized by a variety of
nationalist sentiments and practices. But in the 1970s, when Australia
officially embraced ‘multiculturalism’, the view emerged that Australian culture
had successfully transcended the paradigms of the past. However, the electoral
victories of the racist and xenophobic One Nation party in 1996 and 1998
have severely dented such notions. Time therefore to re-assess the values and
dangers of nationalist policies and discourses, to examine the boundaries of
multiculturality, to evaluate anti-nationalist strategies and to look ahead into
the future of nationalist practices in an post-modern
age. |
