Uncertain Lives is the first book to examine the impact of
neoliberal policies on everyday life in Australia. Going beyond the
discussions of multiculturalism that dominated the 1980s and 1990s,
Uncertain Lives examines the persistence of race and racism in the
Australian experience. While the governments of John Howard
followed the rhetoric of neoliberalism in suggesting that market
forces dominated social relations, in reality the racism that had
been founded in the White Australia policy became again
increasingly acceptable, and accepted, in a society no longer
subject to the values of multiculturalism.Uncertain Lives tracks
this racism from its pervasiveness in everyday life to the ways
race influenced decisions about who would, and would not, be
allowed into Australia. From discussions of asylum seekers to
migrants to the ways that thinking about the border itself has been
transformed, Uncertain Lives charts the recent history of the
Australian experience. Uncertain Lives ranges over events such as
the Cronulla Riots of 2005 and the 2006 Beaconsfield mine rescue
and uses a variety of recent films to highlight the impact of race
in a society where liberal and social democratic values have been
replaced by neoliberal ideology.
