This unit explores the cultural discourses around race, gender, and multiculturalism in Australia and the US that have emerged from their colonial and immigration histories. We will consider how these discourses structure dominant representations of ethnic minorities in these countries, and how these minorities have resisted political and social marginalisation. We will focus on particular case studies, including the White Australia policy, the stolen generations, the Japanese internment, and various US cultural nationalist movements.
