In the Jurox Foyer, Veterinary Science Conference Centre, Regimental Crescent University of Sydney (use the Ross St Entrance, Parramatta Road) Part of the Future of Multiculturalism Conference Refreshments served rsvp Amanda Perram, Pluto Press on 95193299 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________ The controversial new book that challenges Australia's multicultural policies. ========================================= Hage uses the on-going immigration debates in Australia to argue that both White racists and 'tolerant' White multiculturalists share a concept of themselves as masters of a nation structured around a White culture, with 'ethnics' and Aborigines as exotic objects. Hage draws on the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu and Jacques Lacan to show how White fantasies of national supremacy lurk in the most cherished of liberal ideals. "I love reading Ghassan Hage. Not only is he brilliant, brave and irascibly original (he is, as he says, an intellectual), but he knows how to share with the reader his own joy in thinking; the result is a compassionate, sociable ethics of understanding which powerfully radiates hope". - Meaghan Morris "White Nation is quite brilliant... While engaging with sophisticated sociological and psychoanalytic theory... often, it reads like a novel, where large historical themes are illuminatingly related to intimate details of daily life and perception... It lifts intellectual discussion of issues of ethnicity and identity to new levels" - John Docker Pluto Press Australia $24.95 ISBN 1 86403 056 9 ----------------------------------------------------------- Three easy ways to order: 1.
