This book presents the first comprehensive survey of being a local,
in particular in Australia. As in much of the colonised,
English-speaking world, in Australia the paradox is that the locals
are not indigenous peoples but migrants with a specific ethnic
heritage who became localised in time to label other migrants as
the newcomers and outsiders. Claims of belonging as 'local' provide
a crucial insight into power relations that extend beyond the local
level to questions of national identity and the ethics of belonging
in a postcolonial, multicultural nation. How have Anglo-Celtic
Australians installed themselves as locals? Where do Indigenous
Australians stand in this local politics of identity? What are the
ethical considerations for how we connect our identities to places
while also relating to others in a time of intensifying migration?
This book explores these questions via a multidisciplinary cultural
studies approach and a mixed methodology that blends a critical
language study of being local with auto-ethnographical accounts by
the author, himself a 'local'.
