A comprehensive new introduction to Australian and Aotearoa/New
Zealand human and cultural geography. The authors integrate key
themes of globalisation, difference and inequality into this
student friendly book. Each chapter follows a strong pedagogical
framework designed to enhance students' ability to understand the
material.
This collected volume draws together essays written by IR scholars from a variety of regional, methodological, and theoretical perspectives to confront the challenges of identity-centered analysis. In particular, the contributors seek to elucidate the general meaning and methodological implications of the commonly stated, yet largely unexamined, assertion that identities are relational, fluid, constructed, and multiple.
This book highlights cyber racism as an ever growing contemporary
phenomenon. Its scope and impact reveals how the internet has
escaped national governments, while its expansion is fuelling the
spread of non-state actors. In response, the authors address the
central question of this topic: What is to be done? Cyber Racism
and Community Resilience demonstrates how the social sciences can
be marshalled to delineate, comprehend and address the issues
raised by a global epidemic of hateful acts against race. Authored
by an inter-disciplinary team of researchers based in Australia,
this book presents original data that reflects upon the lived,
complex and often painful reality of race relations on the
internet. It engages with the various ways, from the regulatory to
the role of social activist, which can be deployed to minimise the
harm often felt. This book will be of particular interest to
students and academics in the fields of cybercrime, media sociology
and cyber racism.

Dunn describes the Renaissance rhetoric of authorship and authority
by examining the locus where it appears in its most concentrated
form-the preface. He shows how the notion of authorship changed in
the shifts to the modern public sphere and from religion to science
as legitimizing authorship.
Debates about contemporary Islam and Muslims in the West have taken
some negative turns in the depressing atmosphere of the war on
terror and its aftermath. This book argues that we have been too
preoccupied with problems, not enough with solutions. The increased
mobilisation and scrutiny of Muslim identities has taken place in
the context of a more general recasting of racial ideas and racism:
a shift from overtly racial to ostensibly ethnic and cultural
including religious categories within discourses of social
difference. The targeting of Muslims has been associated with new
forms of an older phenomenon: imperialism. New divisions between
Muslims and others echo colonial binaries of black and white,
colonised and coloniser, within practices of divide and rule. This
book speaks to others who have been marginalised and colonised, and
to wider debates about social difference, oppression and
liberation.

Global Punk examines the global phenomenon of DIY (do-it-yourself)
punk, arguing that it provides a powerful tool for political
resistance and personal self-empowerment. Drawing examples from
across the evolution of punk - from the streets of 1976 London to
the alleys of contemporary Jakarta - Global Punk is both
historically rich and global in scope. Looking beyond the music to
explore DIY punk as a lived experience, Global Punk examines the
ways in which punk contributes to the process of disalienation and
political engagement. The book critically examines the impact that
DIY punk has had on both individuals and communities, and offers
chapter-length investigations of two important aspects of DIY punk
culture: independent record labels and self-published zines.
Grounded in scholarly theories, but written in a highly accessible
style, Global Punk shows why DIY punk remains a vital cultural form
for hundreds of thousands of people across the globe today.

characters become amorously entangled to varying degrees.
