The author's own awareness of having a diasporic identity was
brought about by my having lived through two historical junctures
of heightened racism in my home countries of Britain and Australia.
As a consequence, this book presents material that relates to
historical moments relevant to the authors lived experience:
Powellism (the far-right British politician Enoch Powells
intervention in 1968 in the field of race relations) and Hansonism
(the racialised terrain of Australia, and Queensland in particular,
that surfaced following the creation of Pauline Hansons One Nation
party from the mid-1990s). The cultural counterweights to Powellism
and Hansonism Rock against Racism, The Black Art Movement and
Pauline Pantsdown each devised novel ways to resist the resurgence
of populist racism. More significantly perhaps, the book will shed
new light on the seemingly exhausted debate concerning art and
protest, by positioning the disaporic sensibility as thinking in
the interval and forging new ways of signifying belonging.
