progressive political theory, which through the politics of recognition has sought to legitimate modes of group representation, including clientelistic formations, as a means to enhancing the political inclusion of marginalised Australian migrant and ethnic communities.
Australian” and the relationship between Asia and Australia through
the lens of local community associations, their objectives,
publications and activities. It examines the historical context in
which these associations were established, according to three
distinctive postwar historical periods; it examines the cultural
milieu in which the phrase Asian Australian has assembled
meaning; and it locates the role of the term as both an identity
marker and as a basis for intra-ethnic mobilisation. The article
finds that iterations of the combination of Asia and Australia—as
either adjectives or nouns—have consistently delineated between
identity and nation, nation and belonging, belonging and
territoriality. Through the embodied passions and politics of
associational life, this article investigates the figurative
boundary between Asia and Australia and shows how the paired
use of these terms has often reflected profoundly if not
epistemologically divergent worldviews.
