Migration and its associated social practices and consequences have
been studied within a multitude of academic disciplines and in the
context of policies at local, national and regional level. This
edited collection provides an introduction and critical review of
conceptual developments and policy contexts of migration
scholarship within an Australian and global context, through:
political economy analyses of migration and associated
transformations; sociological analyses of 'settling in' processes;
multi-disciplinary analyses of migrant work; a historical review of
scholarship on refugees; a Southern theory approach to cultural
diversity; sociological reflections on post-nationalism; Cultural
Studies analyses of public culture and 'second generation' youth
cultures; interdisciplinary and Critical Race analyses of 'race'
and racism; feminist intersectional analyses of migration,
belonging and representation; the theorising of cosmopolitanism; a
transdisciplinary analysis of gender, transnational families and
care; and a comparative, transcontextual analysis of hybridity. An
essential contribution to the current mapping of migration studies,
with a focus on Australian scholarship in its international
context, this collection will be of interest to undergraduates and
postgraduates interested in fields such as Sociology, Cultural
Studies, Geography and Politics.

The year 2013 is the 40th anniversary of the end of the 'White
Australia policy'. In these four decades Australia's immigration
policy has shifted from a primary concern with cultural homogeneity
or Britishness to a focus on demand-based skills through an
increasingly fine-tuned system of points tests, occupation lists
and employer-sponsored visas. Despite disproportionate
politicisation of asylum seekers in recent public discourse, the
intake of refugees and humanitarian entrants has remained
relatively small. While Australia's contemporary migrant and
refugee intake is truly multicultural, and governments continue to
adhere to an official multicultural policy, integration into the
Australian community and culture has been the dominant process,
especially for second and third generation Australians. Australian
identity and citizenship have changed in the last forty years,
making Australia and its people more pluralistic and richly
diverse. Becoming Australian focuses on the ways in which migrants
and refugees meet the challenges of 'becoming Australian' and the
transformative process for Australia and its people as they
incorporate the continuing influx of multicultural peoples.
