Ethnic Politics in Australia by James Jupp

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Creasing to front cover tail right corner. Interior and binding are still very good.

As the various communities created in Australia by mass post-war immigration have settled, become naturalised and a second generation begun 'ethnicity' has emerged as an important element in politics.

The previous Anglo-Celtic domination of culture and institutions has been challenged, and governments of all major parties have launched programs designed to serve ethnic communities and to protect and advance their distinctive cultures.

There is a continuing debate between those who emphasise 'class' and those drawing attention to 'ethnicity', and this book highlights the debate and analyses the ethnic impact on elections, on the parties and on elective offices.
