'Spying for Hitler' and 'Working for Bin Laden': Comparative Australian Discourses on Refugees 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper argues that the complexity of recent debates aboutillegal refugee arrivals in Australia, held sincethe prominent MV Tampa incident of August 2001, might be betterunderstood by placing them in a comparative historical context.Towards this end, an investigation of previous debates on thesubject of Jewish refugees in Australia prior to the SecondWorld War is suggested. Such an exploration reveals a seeminglyidiosyncratic Australian slant towards refugeesthat demonstrates a subtle process of marginalization and exclusionbased on notions of good and badrefugees. Such an approach further demonstrates the contradictoryattitudes of immigrant societies towards refugees notwithstandingthe cultural pluralism supposedly inherent in their outlooks. 相似文献
