What is at stake is the question of what it would mean to think through and represent the specific and non- generalisable experiences of being ‘African Australian’, without preventing the becoming that, I will argue, is proper to all social experience. This problem is explored through a qualitative study of African Australian youth, involving in-depth interviews and participant observation. While I highlight some of the peculiarities of the Australian experience, my aim is to use the empirical material to productively reinflect the problems of belonging and becoming as they play out in an always emergent sociality. An analysis of the empirical material suggests that there are two clearly identifiable modes by which African Australian youth negotiate the sense of their difference, which I refer to as ascriptive and affiliative negotiations of difference. I suggest that such negotiations of difference play an important role in enabling those for whom racial difference has a negative status to actively and productively engage that difference. Yet such negotiations of difference risk remaining constrained by the epidermal reflex and the manner in which race folds back into – or, to use the term that I develop in the thesis, perplicates in – social experience. Yet the empirical material also points to the more open and indeterminate aspects of everyday encounters, which I theorise through the lens of affect theory. I argue for the significance of a Deleuzian reading of affect, which distinguishes itself from more subjective understandings of affect by insisting on a shift away from identity as the ground of social experience, towards an ontology of differentiation, process and becoming. I conclude that convivial multiculture is best understood in both its micropolitical and macropolitical aspects. Convivial multiculture, seen from the point of view of an ontology of difference and becoming, is an emergent social field that is always already in play; yet, it requires convivial practices to enable its expression in social reality. While I argue for the significance of this more indeterminate and excessive aspect of the African Australian experience, I also stress that experience cannot be understood without grasping the way that race perplicates within it. The novelty of my argument is to offer new ways of conceptualising the complex relationship between belonging and becoming within the context of the problem of race. For all the ways that race folds back into social experience, if we take the question ‘how do I belong?’ as a productive impetus rather than a problem to be solved, we may be able to better attune to the openness and unpredictability of what is to come. 1 Acknowledgements This thesis was written as a part time student, whilst working as a teacher/executive teacher and raising three children.

In a consideration of the status of feminism in the early 1990s, Elizabeth Grosz (1994: 163) highlights the importance of women ‘exploring and interrogating their own specific, and non-generalisable forms of becoming, desiring-production and being.’ Grosz articulates well a problem that is central to this thesis, though here the question concerns what it would mean to enable the being, the belonging and the becoming, specific to the diasporic identity I am calling ‘African-Australianness.’ What would it mean to think through and represent the specific and non- generalisable experiences of being ‘African Australian’, without preventing the becoming that, I will argue, is proper to all social experience? We must be wary that the commonly used term African Australian does not become a tool of the exclusionary politics of belonging. Whether the term is appropriated by those of black African descent who seek an identification as such, or by those who seek to denote the individual and collective identity of ‘others’, the use of the identification ‘African Australian’ risks producing a discursive representation, an a priori social category that may not be readily understood or accepted by those thus designated. Such identification may overplay the discontinuities, or indeed underplay the links, between the individual identities, collective representations and the political transformations that may characterise and constitute the collective sense of Africans in Australia. Adopting the notion of ‘African Australian’1 as an authentic social or cultural identity also runs the risk of assuming the characteristic of ‘race’ as its centre. My concern is that if race is assumed to be the central tenet of such identification, it may not be possible to disrupt “racially inflected expressions” that, as Garret Duncan (2005: 101) asserts, ‘give enduring forms of oppression and inequality their appearance of normalcy and naturalness.’ What matters, he argues, is that we can move beyond the ‘reproduction of received ‘realities’’, such as those that racial discourses offer, in order to ‘explore the epistemology and interplay of different ontologies that may create this reproduction.’ While Duncan argues for a ‘counternarrative or counterstory’ as an antidote to these racially inflected expressions, I am especially interested in the possibility of exploring different ontologies in order to challenge the way in which ‘race’ is problematized to begin with. The language of racial or ethnic identity for example, requires taking identity as the ontological basis of our experience, and this involves ontological 1 I would like the reader to bear in mind that the identification ‘African Australian’ is merely used to denote the emergence of the community. It is not, as the argument throughout the thesis illustrates, an a priori identification. 3 commitments, which this thesis seeks to problematise and indeed to displace from centre-field. This is not to say that the question of what it would mean to be identified as, or even to identify with, African Australianness is not important, and that the question of one’s belonging to such an identity can only be asked through an attention to the more phenomenological problem of the experience of identification. Yet the question of the becoming of those tentatively identifying as African Australian requires that an ontology that puts difference at the fore be given its due place in our thinking.

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.
