Such an interpretation of the term "ethnicity" ignores the distinction (2) very clearly made by Michael Banton, that there are two ethnicities that have different functions and different characteristics. He cites Lloyd Warner's conclusion that in "Yankee City", while immigrants from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Anglophone Canada did form ethnic groups, only Greek-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Jewish-Americans, and so on were in fact classified as ethnics. This, Banton says, is one of those mistakes from which subsequent generations can learn: we need to coin two terms and he suggests "majority ethnicity" and "minority ethnicity", to denote the minus one definition of ethnicity by which Vthe dominant group in a society sets the standard by which the others are judged and is not itself judged." Members of a dominant group are thus not aware of their own ethnicity and the extent to which it helps fashion their self-concept. They remain unaware that if the majority group is large enough to occupy a whole territory, it is usually defined in political terms, such as "nation" or "state", and this replaces their need to acknowledge their "majority ethnicity". In Australia, the connotation of "ethnic" has been further distorted by the offical use of "ethnic" in such titles as "Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs", and by popular use in such concepts as "ethnic radio" or "ethnic food". To many Australians, "ethnic" is thus a synonym for "migrant", or "non-Australian", or "pertaining to Australians of non-British origins". The idea that all of us have ethnicity, inescapably through our lines of descent, is discounted in favour of a loose, ill-defined division of Australia's population into "Australians" and "ethnics". How and when an "ethnic" comes to be considered an "Australian" by all other Australians is hard to discern. Even more mysterious is the way in which individuals of like ethnic descent can form associations of like- 2. minded individuals who constitute an "ethnic group". In a culturally diverse society like Australia, it is a study of considerable interest to trace the factors that determine whether parents in an "ethnic group" are able to transmit their sense of "ethnicity" to their children, and whether this ethnicity can in turn be transmitted across subsequent generations. S\ In Language, Ethnicity and Intergroup Relations, an excellent collection _ (3) of papers edited by Howard Giles , we have descriptions of ethnic community contact and interaction in many parts of the world. While these overseas experiences are of importance to us in Australia for purposes of comparison, it is unfortunate that the Australian situation is not discussed in Giles' book. In the final summary chapter, "Towards a theory of language in ethnic group relations," there is a structural analysis of some of the factors that determine a group's ability to retain its sense of ethnic individuality and to transmit this across generations. The ability is termed "ethnolinguistic vitality", and Giles and his fellow authors choose three variables as being of particular potency in determining the likely vitality of a minority group within an ethnolinguistically different host society : status, demography and institutional support. Instructive though this analysis may be, and applicable no doubt to the many countries and minorities that were discussed in the book by the various contributors, it is in many aspects inapplicable to the Australian scene. Some of the factors seen as significant by the authors are definitely not potent in determining the vitality or durability of ethnolinguistic groups in the Australian community; and many variables that seem worthy of analysis because of their obvious relevance to this and other countries are not treated in the chapter. This paper undertakes an application to the Australian setting of such a structural analysis as that devised by Giles and his fellow contributors. We will discuss the three structural variables Status, Demography and Institutional Support against the background of Australian society in the 80s, and treat three other variables that seem to be of particular potency in our society: Aspirations, Cultural Characteristics and Host Society Attitudes. ./3 3. 1 STATUS According to Giles, "the more status a linguistic group is recognised to have, the more vitality it can be said to possess as a collective entity." ( page 309) One surmises that the writers had English-Canadians in mind. They then proceed to speak of economic status of the group, rather than of individuals who constitute the group. This concept is difficult to apply to Australia in any way that is not simplistic; there is no validity in assigning relative status to ethno- linguistic groups as a whole in the Australian community: "Do Turkish- Australians have more status than Macedonian-Australians?" is an unanswerable question. Members of such groups may be seen to have status relative to members of other groups, but we would maintain that this does not necessarily confer vitality or durability on the group as an identifiable entity within the society. In the same way, many descriptions of the class positions of migrants in Australian society make unwarranted assumptions about differences that are due only insignificantly to socioeconomic factors and more importantly can be explained in terms of demographic characteristics of the original migrating generation. In the matter of status, one might take German-Australians as a complex example: as individuals they tend to score highly on such status components as years of education, portable job skills or professional qualifications (4) ; . .................. on arrival, salary levels and similarity in residential distribution to the Australian born. One could deduce from this that a sizeable proportion of the presumed 581 000 persons of German ethnic origin in Australia representing 4.1% of Australia's population, are likely to be of reasonably high status. Yet despite the numbers of Australians of German ethnic origin, and this likely status position, one could not claim that, apart from Barossa and Riverina families, German-Australians constitute a particularly striking example of an enduring

  • Vietnamese Family Reunion in Australia 1983 – 2007 Bianca Lowe
    Vietnamese Family Reunion in Australia 1983 – 2007 Bianca Lowe Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2016 Graduate School of Historical and Philosophical Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This thesis explores the reunification of Vietnamese families in Australia through the family reunion program from 1983 to 2007. Focusing upon these key years in the program, and building upon substantial existing research into the settlement of Vietnamese refugees in Australia, this dissertation adds to the knowledge of Vietnamese-Australian migration by focusing on the hitherto neglected story of family reunion. It offers an account of the process and circumstances by which Vietnamese families attempted to reunite and establish new lives in Australia, following the Vietnam War. Drawing upon analysis of political debate and interviews with Vietnamese families, this thesis provides an overview of years that challenged traditional narratives of national identity and of the composition and character of the ‘family of the nation’. During this period, the Australian Government facilitated the entry of large numbers of Asian migrants, which represented a fundamental shift in the composition of the national community. Analysis of political commentary on Vietnamese family reunion reveals tensions between the desire to retain traditional conceptions of Australian national identity and the drive to present Australia as an adaptable and modern country. The early chapters of this thesis examine political debate in the Australian Parliament about the family reunion program. They note differing emphases across the Hawke-Keating Labor Government (1983-1996) and Howard Liberal-National Coalition Government (1996-2007), but also similarities that underline the growing adherence to economic rationalism and the effect this had on the broad design of the program.

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.

  • Irish in Australia
    THE IRISH IN AUSTRALIA. BY THE SAME AUTHOR. AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONt A Series of Colonial Stories, Sketches , and Literary Essays. 203 pages , handsomely bound in green and gold. Price Five Shillings. A VERYpleasant and entertaining book has reached us from Melbourne. The- author, Mr. J. F. Hogan, is a young Irish-Australian , who, if we are to judge- from the captivating style of the present work, has a brilliant future before him. Mr. Hogan is well known in the literary and Catholic circles of the Australian Colonies, and we sincerely trust that the volume before us will have the effect of making him known to the Irish people at home and in America . Under the title of " An Australian Christmas Collection ," Mr. Hogan has republished a series of fugitive writings which he had previously contributed to Australian periodicals, and which have won for the author a high place in the literary world of the. Southern hemisphere . Some of the papers deal with Irish and Catholic subjects. They are written in a racy and elegant style, and contain an amount of highly nteresting matter relative to our co-religionists and fellow -countrymen under the Southern Cross. A few papers deal with inter -Colonial politics , and we think that home readers will find these even more entertaining than those which deal more. immediately with the Irish element. We have quoted sufficiently from this charming book to show its merits. Our readers will soon bear of Mr. Hogan again , for he has in preparation a work on the "Irish in Australia," which, we are confident , will prove very interesting to the Irish people in every land.

    CONTAINERDEUTSCHE - CONTEMPORARY GERMAN IMMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA AND CANADA by ULRIKE RADERMACHER Magister Artium, University of Munich A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 1991 © Radermacher, 1991 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at The University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his or her representatives.

Department of Anthropology and Sociology The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date: 15.06.1991 ABSTRACT This thesis is a comparative study of contemporary German migration to Australia and Canada, specifically to Sydney and Vancouver. It explores the dynamics of the migration process from a phenomenological point of view. All events and circumstances in the migration process are seen as interrelated, and therefore important to the analysis. Furthermore, the meaning of a phenomenon can only be understood by exploring its context. Therefore, this study views contemporary German migration in its various contexts—how it is displayed in the social science literature and manifested in government statistics, how it is presented as common sense, and how it is experienced by the migrants themselves.

It will ensure that we are adequately represented in Australia as a minority community and in key policy areas such as cultural diversity, health, education and social services. By identifying as a Macedonian Australian, you will enable the Australian Government to better understand who we are and the needs of our community now and in the future. The Council has developed an information campaign and guide to support the Macedonian community with responding to key questions in the upcoming Census. The information is available in English and Macedonian, and includes a step-by-step guide to answering the questions. It is available by clicking on the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19Nzd0Vl6Hpza- hFp9tG8kK3jQcTuVWZs?usp=sharing The Australian Bureau of Statistics has also published some information in the Macedonian language.
