This book examines the way in which Australian institutions have
responded to the influx of migrants of non-Anglo-Saxon origin
during the past thirty years. Until the end of the sixties, the
typical Australian reaction was that these migrants could be, and
were being, assimilated into the mainstream of British-Australian
society and culture. At the end of the sixties, both the
assimilationist philosophy and the claim of successful and
effortless absorption came into question, and migrants of
non-English speaking background began to be defined as problems.
Now, in a third phase, migrants themselves are rejecting the notion
that they are, above all, problems or people with problems. Instead
they are asserting their rights and dignity as legitimate
minorities in an ethnically plural society. The author goes on to
trace in detail the response of the institutions of education,
health, and the trade unions to 'the migrant presence'. 'Well
written, well presented, well documented and challenging.' - C. A.
Price, The National Times 'Well written, sympathetic to the point
of anger and should be included in any course on Australian society
or public policy...an invaluable contribution.'- James Jupp,
Politics Studies in Society is a series edited by Ronald Wild which
sets out to cover the major topics in Australasian sociology. The
books will not be 'readers' but original works - some will cover
new ground and present original research, some will provide an
overview and synthesis of source materials and existing research,
and all will be important reading for students of sociology.
