Adopting a political and legal perspective, Redefining Citizenship
in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand undertakes a
transnational study that examines the demise of Britishness as a
defining feature of the conceptualisation of citizenship in
Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand and the impact that
this historic shift has had on Indigenous and other ethnic groups
in these states. During the 1950s and 1970s an ethnically based
citizenship was transformed into a civic-based one (one based on
rights and responsibilities). The major context in which this took
place was the demise of British race patriotism in Australia,
English-speaking Canada, and Aotearoa New Zealand. Although the
timing of this shift varied, Aboriginal groups and non-British
ethnic groups were now incorporated, or appeared to be
incorporated, into ideas of citizenship in all three nations. The
development of citizenship in this period has traditionally been
associated with immigration in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New
Zealand. However, the historical origins of citizenship practices
in all three countries have yet to be fully analysed. This is what
Redefining Citizenship in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New
Zealand does. The overarching question addressed by the book is:
Why and how did the end of the British World lead to the
redefinition of citizenship in Australia, Canada, and Aotearoa New
Zealand between the 1950s and 1970s in regard to other ethnic and
Indigenous groups? This book will be useful for history and
politics courses, as well as specialised courses on citizenship and
Indigenous studies.
