KlappentextHow have Anglo-Celtic Australians installed themselves as locals? Where do Indigenous Australians stand in this local politics of identity? What are the ethical considerations for how we connect our identities to places while also relating to others in a time of intensifying migration? This book explores these questions.
Zusatztext«';The Locals' is exquisitely written; its seven chapters (plus an introduction) demonstrate the author's scrupulous self-reflection, conceptual vigour and breadth, and methodological diversity and depth. [...] ';The Locals' is a challenging analysis of rurality and race relations in a settler-society.» (Andrew Gorman Murray, Cultural Studies Review 18, 2012/1) «[...] this book offers an insightful analysis of a hitherto relatively understudied concept: that of the ';local'. Anchored in the author's experience as a ';local' [...], the book engages with the Australian context while it also offers valuable theoretical insights concerning the concept of the ';local' in the social sciences and humanities. [...] This is a highly recommended text for people interested in Australia's notions of white autochthony, localism and the mundane and nuanced ways such notions are inscribed into people's self-image.» (Victor Roudometof, International Sociology 28, 2013/5)
