The campaign does not appear to have succeeded.1 Let’s begin this paper with a peculiar point of departure. Let’s abjure for the moment the approved conventions of academic discussion and begin not with the obligatory expounding of some contextualising theoretical locus, but instead with an immersion much more personal. Let’s embrace the pure, shattering honesty of humiliation. Let’s begin with a tale of shame and, for the sake of practicality, let’s make it mine. Early in September 2006, I was desperately trying to finish a paper on Australian representations of masculinity. The deadline had crept up on me, and I was caught struggling for a focusing point. I wanted a figure to drape my argument upon, one that would fit into a complicated and altogether shaky coagulation of ideas surrounding Australian icons, legends and images—someone who perfectly ISSN 1837-8692 straddled an exploration of masculine constructions within a framework of cringing insecurities and historical silences. I could think of men, I could think of iconic men, and I could think of them in limitless abundance, but none of them encapsulated everything I wanted to say.

  • Survival of a Nation
    SURVIVAL OF A NATION: FROM ASSIMILATION TO REACTIONARY NATIONALISM CHRISTOPHER NAYLOR MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY THESIS JUNE 2010 Department of Modern History Macquarie University CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER 1 Survival Strategies-Assimilation and Integration 34 CHAPTER 2 Multiculturalism-unifying strategy or threat to the nation? 86 CHAPTER 3 Survival of Anglo-Australian Culture 132 CHAPTER 4 From Hanson to Cronulla 181 CONCLUSION 240 This thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other university or institution anywhere, other than in this manuscript __________________________________________________Christopher Naylor Thesis abstract During the period from the end of World War II to the early 2000’s Australia was forced to adapt to the migrant presence if it were to survive as a modern liberal democracy. Migrants were necessary to the economy and the building of the nation after World War II. Immigration was conceived as a mechanism of national survival. But immigrants needed to fit into Anglo-Australian culture, the existing template. Our society thus had two driving needs: a desire to increase population through migration, and a desire to preserve the existing society that had been derived from Great Britain. This thesis argues that one of the central themes of the story of immigration after the war has been the working out of a fundamental dialectic between the demands of the ‘body’ and that of the ‘soul’. These produced, or were propelled by, different conceptions of survival. Evolving settlement policies became ways of resolving the emerging conflict between the numbers and background of migrants and the need to preserve an Anglo-Australian culture.
