This book offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of the
tropes employed in the categorization of international students
living and studying in Australia. Establishing the position of
migrant students as 'subjects of the border', the author employs
various models of emotion in an analysis of the ways in which
public debates on migration and education in Australia have
problematised international students as an object of national
compassion or resentment in relation to other national concerns at
the time, such as the country's place in the Asia-Pacific region,
the integrity of its borders and the relative competitiveness of
its economy. Applying an innovative methodology, which combines the
breadth of a diachronic study with the depth afforded by the close
analysis of a diverse range of case studies - including the
protests staged by Indian international students against a spate of
violent attacks, which led to their labelling as 'soft targets' in
national discourses - Australia's New Migrants constitutes an
important contribution to our understanding of the ways in which
emotions shape national collectives' orientation towards others. As
such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural studies and
education with interests in migration, race and emotion.
