| Summary: | Although we need to be wary of overemphasizing the impact of historical occurrences, all over Europe the events of September 11, 2001, accelerated the growing negativity toward migrants with Islamic backgrounds. The publication of this timely book provides insights into similar developments within the Australian context. It demonstrates the burgeoning exclusionary discourse toward Islam and Muslims, showing how this group of migrants have been excluded from the national imagination on the basis of their cultural and religious differences, despite Australia's active multicultural policy. It also shows the paradoxes and challenges involved with the issues of inclusion and diversity in general. |
