Beschreibung:
Ghassan Hage is professor of anthropology and social theory at the University of Melbourne. He has held many international visiting professorships including at Harvard, at The Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, The University of Copenhagen and The American University of Beirut. He works in the areas of comparative nationalism, racism and multiculturalism. He is the author of many publications in this domain; most known among them is White Nation: Fantasies of White Supremacy in a Multicultural Society (Routledge 2000). He also works in social theory with a particular interest in the work of Pierre Bourdieu.
The Arab community in Australia is one of the oldest and most established of its immigrant ethnic communities. Together, the various works brought together here cover most aspects of Arab-Australian lives that are of importance today: the history of settlement, attitudes about citizenship, Arab women's activism, Arab antiracism activism, the position of Arab youth between two cultures, nostalgia and homesickness, everyday life in an Arab "ethnic" suburb, and questions of identity.
