| Summary |
Ten years after the Cronulla riots, the events of that day continue to inflame discussions about race relations in Australia. The violence, racism and branding of young bodies with signs and symbols of Australian nationalism, along with the reprisal attacks by Lebanese-Australian youth, was a blow to Australia's self-perception as a easygoing multicultural society. It marked a shift in public debaee away from the ideas of multiculturalism and cultural diversity, towards patriotism, localism, security and fear of the (predominantly) Muslim 'Other'. Battle for the Flag contextualises this historical shift. It draws on original interviews with residents of Cronulla and Lebanese-Australian residents of Western Sydney to highlight the influence local youth culture and intercultural encounters had on the contest for space and a sense of national belonging. --Back cover |
