BIBLIOGRAPHY Africans in Australia BIBLIOGRAPHY Africans in Australia: a Bibliography Liz Dimock La Trobe University General scholarship on demography, migration, multiculturalism This is a small sample from an extensive range of material, in part relating to policy and funded by federal agencies such as the Department of Immigration, in part a critique of federal government policies evolving through the 1970s to the present day. Some items come from specific university programs such as the ANU’s Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute. While early publications were often statistical and had only passing reference to Africans in Australia, there was increasing focus on African migration and settlement issues through the 1990s and into the current decade. Critiques of national and international policies have increased, added to by a new range of anthropological and sociological scholarship on societal attitudes, race, racism and whiteness. The latter inevitably look inward at Australian society and cover a wider category of migrants than African Australians; this category is nevertheless important in signifying academic trends in the first decade of the twenty first century. The section on general scholarship has considerable overlap with following sections and has not been divided on a chronological basis.

  • Possible Antecedents and Implications to African-Australians Participating in the Proposed Pilot Program of Settlement in Rural
    ‘African Renewal, African Renaissance’: New Perspectives on Africa’s Past and Africa’s Present. The African Studies Association of Australia and the Pacific (AFSAAP) Annual Conference 26-28 November 2004, University of Western Australia Possible Antecedents and Implications to African-Australians Participating in the Proposed Pilot Program of Settlement in Rural Victoria: A Study of Strategic Management of Service Delivery to an Emerging Community in Rural Areas: A Critical Review Dr. Apollo Nsubuga-Kyobe, La Trobe University Introduction and the Basis of the Study This paper has been influenced by both the work we did on African Communities and Settlement Services Delivery in Victoria, and my participation in a number of consultations. These have included: migration and humanitarian programs and the associated settlement issues principally on behalf of African-Australians, the majority are refugees and humanitarian entrants. Also, I have been involved with the Integrated Humanitarian Settlement Strategy, Population Debate, Reviewing the Review of Settlement Services, Economic Contribution of Victoria’s Culturally Diverse Population, Regional Settlement in Rural Victoria, the Victoria Racial Verification Act, Multicultural Victoria Act and How to deal with gambling and substance abuse mainly among youth. Given the foregoing, this paper assesses a number of fundamental issues connected with newly arrived Refugee and Humanitarian entrants, mainly those from Sub-Sahara Africa. It seeks to identify the issues likely to be confronted when settling in Victorian locations such as: Shepparton, Swan-Hill, Warrnambool, Mildura or Colac, to name a few of the nine proposed places. The paper also questions whether secondary settlement of the African Refugees and Humanitarian entrants would be an alternative and a strategic option to picking these new settlers straight from refugee camps overseas.

  • 1 African Transnational Diasporas: Theoretical Perspectives 2 Vintages and Patterns of Migration
    Notes 1 African Transnational Diasporas: Theoretical Perspectives 1. In 1965 George Shepperson (1993), drawing parallels with the Jewish dias- pora, coined the term ‘African diaspora’. The term was also closely associ- ated with social and political struggles for independence in Africa and the Caribbean. For detailed examination on the origins of the term African dias- pora, see Manning (2003) and Zeleza (2010). 2. The Lebanese in West Africa, Indian Muslims in South Africa and the Hausa in West Africa and Sudan are some of the examples of African diasporas within the continent (Bakewell, 2008). 3. See, for example, Koser’s (2003) edited volume, New African Diasporas and Okpewho and Nzegwu’s (2009) edited volume, The New African Diaspora. Both books provide a wide range of case studies of contemporary African diasporas. 4. This taxonomy has been adapted and developed from my examination of Zimbabwean transnational diaspora politics (see Pasura, 2010b). 2 Vintages and Patterns of Migration 1. Ethnic differences between ZANU and ZAPU caused the war of liberation to be fought on two fronts until the formation of the Patriotic Front, a unified alliance. ZAPU continued to advocate for multi-ethnic mobilization; historians have sought to explain the growing regional/ethnic allegiance partly in terms of the role of the two liberation armies, as old ZAPU committees existed in the Midlands and Manicaland but the areas became ZANU after having received Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA) freedom fighters. 2. The subtitle comes from the BBC’s (2005) article entitled: ‘So where are Zimbabweans going?’ 3. See the case of Mutumwa Mawere, who recently won his case against the state with regard to dual citizenship (Gonda, 2013).

  • Finding Home Far Away from Home: Place Attachment, Place-Identity, Belonging and Resettlement Among African- Australians in Hobart
    Finding home far away from home: place attachment, place-identity, belonging and resettlement among African- Australians in Hobart Kiros Hiruy BSc Agriculture, Animal Sciences Diploma, Dairy Science Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Management, School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania Hobart, March 2009 Declaration This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. Signed Date - 02 March 2009 ii Abstract This thesis explores the resettlement experiences of former African refugees in Hobart. It provides insight into their lived experiences and conceptualises displacement, place attachment, identity, belonging, place making and resettlement in the life of a refugee. It argues that current discourse on refugees‟ resettlement in popular media, academia and among host communities lacks veracity, and offers an alternative view to enrich current knowledge and encourage further research and debate. In this study 26 people from five countries of origin (Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone and Sudan) shared their life experiences in focus group discussions and interviews. Refugee theories and literature in resettlement, place attachment, place identity, belonging and resettlement were also reviewed. To develop an account of the lived experiences of refugees and understanding of the ways in which they create places, negotiate identity and belonging in the resettlement process, phenomenology and discourse analysis are used.

  • 'African Australian' As a Collective Identity
    STRATEGIC OTHERING THROUGH ‘AFRICAN AUSTRALIAN’ AS A COLLECTIVE IDENTITY: A VIEW FROM AFRICAN BACKGROUND YOUNG PEOPLE IN MELBOURNE ABAY ADHANA PhD candidate (Sociology), La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia Abstract- African migrants are one of the recent migrant cohorts to Australia who began arriving in the early 1980s. Today, Australia hosts one of the largest number of African migrant communities in the world. In 2006, there were about 248,700 persons of African descent in Australia; and this figure increased to about 300, 000 in the 2011 census. As minority groups, Africans struggle to adapt to the Australian society. Internally, Africans have huge array of ethnic, linguistic and cultural groups and members often organise themselves along these lines; however, externally Africans are collectively known as ‘African Australians’. This label displays a generalised image for all African descent people. The colloquial phrase can be interpreted in two ways: first as group identity that signals pan-African ethnicity; and second as Diasporic identity appealing to reconnect back to their motherland. Both applications seem to be positive. However, it remains unnoticed the ‘strategic othering’ effect engendered in such racialized or ethnicized identification. This paper discusses how the pan-ethnic identity perpetuates discourses of otherness as much as it creates Diasporic African identity. The study utilises qualitative inquiry among African background youth living in Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city, and home to the largest African migrant communities in Australia. Key terms- African Australian, identity, Othering, pan-ethnicity I. INTRODUCTION Australian multiculturalism where ethnic and cultural diversities are celebrated, ‘Australianness’ and African migrants are one of the recent migrant Australian identity continue to be redefined in cohorts to Australia who began arriving in the early confrontation with the ‘African other’ (Colic-Peisker 1980s.

  • Black African Immigrants to Australia: Prejudice and the Function of Attitudes
    ARTICLES Black African Immigrants to Australia: Prejudice and the Function of Attitudes Safiyya Khan and Anne Pedersen Murdoch University, Australia n recent years there has been an increase in Black African immigrants to Australia; however, there is Ino social psychological research that directly examines community attitudes towards this group. Here, the findings of a community survey in Western Australia are reported using data collected from 184 Australian participants. We were particularly interested in prejudiced attitudes and the function of attitudes towards Black African immigrants. On prejudice, a reliable and valid instrument measuring attitudes towards Black African immigrants was constructed. On functions, the most frequently reported function of attitude was ‘value-expressive’ (‘My attitudes give expression to my values’), fol- lowed by experiential-schematic (‘Helps me to make sense of the world’) and indirect experiential- schematic (‘Media, friends and family help me to make sense of the world’). While there was no signifi- cant difference between immigrant-accepting versus immigrant-rejecting participants on the value expressive or the experiential schematic functions, rejecting participants scored higher on the indirect experiential schematic function, highlighting the salience of second-hand information. The partici- pants’ most important reason for potentially changing their own attitudes towards Black African immigrants, however, were direct experience (experiential-schematic), followed by values (value expressive) and indirect experience (indirect experiential-schematic), two functions that were equally important. Qualitative open-ended interviews about attitudes converged with these themes, and added ‘integration’ by assimilating Australian culture, and not being involved in criminal activities (which highlights again a role for the media). We discuss these findings and derive a clear direction for anti-prejudice strategies at community and government levels.

    COLUMBAN MISSION INSTITUTE The Golden Rule Poster COLUMBAN RESOURCES Christian-Muslim Relations Peace Ecology and Justice Church in China Mission Studies Columban Resources for the Golden Rule Poster The Columban Mission Institute is proud to publish the Australian version of The Golden Rule Poster. With sacred texts from thirteen different religions and traditions, The Golden Rule Poster is a very effective resource for building better relations across ethnic, cultural and religious divides in our multi-cultural, multi-religious Australian society. Promoting The Golden Rule Poster is a project of the Columban Mission Institute’s Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations. We are confident it will be a great resource for promoting better interfaith relations all around Australia. In the following pages we present some ideas on how you can use The Golden Rule Poster in homes, classrooms, places of worship, offices and workplaces for promoting peace, harmony and mutual respect between people of different cultures and religions. Since the Columban Mission Institute and its Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations are works of St Columban’s Mission Society, an international missionary organization of the Roman Catholic Church, we present these ideas in the context of the Catholic Church’s teaching on interreligious dialogue. However, we also reference the peak national organizations of other Christian Churches and of other religions, as well as some of the more prominent interreligious agents in our society. The staff members of the Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations are ready to assist you by providing speakers, resources or simply someone with whom to bounce ideas around! Please do get in touch.

  • A Colleague of Mine at the Australian Catholic University and I Intend To
    Australian Catholicism and Interfaith Dialogue Gerard V. Hall SM 1 Gerard Hall: Australian Catholicism and Interfaith Dialogue Preamble The term interfaith dialogue may be relatively new and, in the minds of some, not the best term to describe the positive interaction between people of various religious, spiritual and cultural traditions. However, rather than get ourselves hijacked over the best choice of words, we need to acknowledge some fundamental realities. The first is that cultures, societies and religions have evolved in relationship with—and, too often, conflict between—one another. The second is that, even in the darkest moments of religious and cultural conflict, there are outstanding examples of individuals who stood against the tide of hatred, division and intolerance. Throughout history, there are also examples of entire multi-religious societies living in relative harmony and peace, sometimes for centuries. At some level, interfaith dialogue has always been with us—even if it was sometimes looked upon with suspicion. The third reality is this: we now find ourselves at a new juncture in human history. Social historians note the final century of the second millennium was the most bloody in the history of human life. Wars, gulags and genocides fuelled by warped ideologies and despotic dictatorships, assisted by the new technologies of war, resulted in the death of some two billion human beings. The vast majority of these war victims were civilians.1 Nor can it be denied that religion played its role: often in its inability to stem the tide of violence and destruction that overtook entire nations and continents; sometimes through the direct inflammation of national and ethnic hatreds in the very name of 1 The euphemism for this mass-murdering of civilians is ‘collateral damage’.

Literature on immigrant health in New Zealand (NZ) remains scant. This integrative literature review was conducted drawing on peer- reviewed research articles on immigrant health in NZ published between 2012 and 2018. The objectives were to: (i) provide a critical overview of immigrant health in NZ; (ii) identify general trends in health research conducted in NZ on immigrants; (iii) compare, contrast, and evaluate the quality of the information; (iv) develop a summary of research results and; (v) identify priorities and recommendations for future research.
