AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This paper examines the discourses of multiculturalism in 1990s Australian drama, operating between 'the sexiness of difference and the unattainable authenticity that multiculturalism seems to still require' (117).

Notes

  • Epigraph: Thou shalt be ethnic, our legislators say; thou shalt honour thy mother tongue; thou shalt celebrate thy difference in folk festivals; and thou shalt receive monies to write about thy difference (providing thou art a member of an ethnic organization that sponsors the application). And we have responded to that call, ethnics and non-ethnics alike; we have responded by discovering that difference is sexy. S. Kamboureli.
