  • Cornishness and Englishness: Nested Identities Or Incompatible Ideologies?
    CORNISHNESS AND ENGLISHNESS: NESTED IDENTITIES OR INCOMPATIBLE IDEOLOGIES? Bernard Deacon (International Journal of Regional and Local History 5.2 (2009), pp.9-29) In 2007 I suggested in the pages of this journal that the history of English regional identities may prove to be ‘in practice elusive and insubstantial’.1 Not long after those words were written a history of the north east of England was published by its Centre for Regional History. Pursuing the question of whether the north east was a coherent and self-conscious region over the longue durée, the editors found a ‘very fragile history of an incoherent and barely self-conscious region’ with a sense of regional identity that only really appeared in the second half of the twentieth century.2 If the north east, widely regarded as the most coherent English region, lacks a historical identity then it is likely to be even more illusory in other regions. Although rigorously testing the past existence of a regional discourse and finding it wanting, Green and Pollard’s book also reminds us that history is not just about scientific accounts of the past. They recognise that history itself is ‘an important element in the construction of the region … Memory of the past is deployed, selectively and creatively, as one means of imagining it … We choose the history we want, to show the kind of region we want to be’.3 In the north east that choice has seemingly crystallised around a narrative of industrialization focused on the coalfield and the gradual imposition of a Tyneside hegemony over the centuries following 1650.

  • Vietnamese Identities in Modern Australia
    A Quintessential Collision: critical dimensions of the Vietnamese presence in the Australia empire project Andrew Jakubowicz University of Technology Sydney Cultures in Collision Colloqium Transforming Cultures UTS May 9 2003 Abstract The Vietnamese arrival and integration into Australia represents a quintessential case of cultures in collision. In 1975 there was effectively no Vietnamese presence. Over the next twenty five years the community grew to over two hundred thousand members. Before 1975 Vietnam and Australia barely knew each other – except through the prism of the American War. By 2001 Generation 2 were a significant part of Australian political, economic and cultural life. The Vietnamese were used as the trigger for the end of the bi-partisanship on multiculturalism at the end of the 1970s, were implicated in the rising paranoia about unsafe cities in the 1980s, and centrally embroiled in the emergence of a politics of race in the 1990s. They also reflect two trajectories of integration – the anomie associated with marginalization, and the trans-national engagement associated with globalizing elites. This paper explores processes of cultural collision and reconstitution through an examination of three dimensions of the Vietnamese in Australia - the criminal world of the heroin trade; the rise and fall of Phuong Ngo; and the celebration of Generation 2. Note: this is a draft for discussion. Full references in final paper Introduction In July 2002 three young men of Vietnamese background died in an attack by a group of five young men of similar background outside a Melbourne nightclub. The tragedy was fully reported in The Age newspaper, which also was careful to refrain from using ethnic descriptors in presenting the facts of the case.

  • 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.

However, researchers have paid scant attention to the sense of citizenship evinced by marginalised ethnic minorities. The present investigation examines citizenship in Australia by exploring intergroup relations. It attempts to determine the feeling of belonging that connects the Indigenous people of Australia to other ‘non-white’ groups considered ’un-Australian’ by the mainstream society.

  • A Peaceful Mind: Vietnamese-Australians with Liver Cancer
    A peaceful mind: Vietnamese-Australians with liver cancer Interview report Max Hopwood & Carla Treloar Centre for Social Research in Health The University of New South Wales December 2013 1 Summary: Participants indicated little desire for detailed information about liver cancer. Family doctors and liver specialists were the primary sources of information about liver cancer. The internet was another source of liver cancer-related information. DVDs, print resources and Australian/Vietnamese media were not considered to be good sources of liver cancer-related information. Participants relied upon interpreters for understanding the information and advice given by doctors and specialists. Culture and family had a large influence over dietary decisions. Unemployment and under-employment as a result of illness created financial stress for participants. Participants borrowed money from friends and family when necessary. Coping with liver cancer was facilitated by a focus on keeping a peaceful mind. Strategies to consider: On the basis of interview findings derived from this small sample of Vietnamese- Australian liver cancer patients, the following strategies might be considered: Liaising with Vietnamese community medical practitioners to discuss ways of supporting family doctors and liver specialists to ensure patients receive adequate levels of information about living with liver cancer and treatment options. A review of Vietnamese language websites for people with liver cancer, and a compilation of URL addresses of the best site(s) for dissemination via Vietnamese media, community family doctors and liver cancer specialists. A review of interpretation services for Vietnamese people with an aim to publish an online directory and printed directory in the Vietnamese media.
