AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The article challenges the separation of indigenous and migrant discourses and communities through an exploration of the cross-cultural partnerships and alliances between Indigenous and Asian peoples within Australia. It examines the historical links forged between Aboriginal communities and Asian seafarers in the colonies and with non-European migrant communities. It also examines various literary works, the visual arts and other cultural productions in order to outline the conflicts and points of solidarity that structure contemporary relations between Aboriginal and Asian Australians. The last part of the article argues 'for a new imagining of nation that neither separates nor entirely equates Indigenous and Asian peoples and discourses' (58).
