Book Description
"Dewhirst and Scully once more bring together a thought-provoking compilation of original studies of Australia's minority and migrant press. The thematic scope and chronological range are wide. There is much to be learned and pondered in this well-edited volume." - Cameron Hazlehurst, Australian National University "The authors show how diverse groups used print culture to strengthen their communities and challenge those in power. In the spirit of 'history from below' these essays demonstrate that a focus on marginalised groups can cast light on wider national, diasporic and world histories." - Ann Curthoys AM, University of Sydney, Australia "The fascinating essays compellingly restore unjustly neglected communities and visions to their rightful place. They provide a valuable new perspective on Australian history and an important contribution to global and alternative journalism studies." - Mark Hampton, Lingnan University, Hong Kong This book brings together long-obscured histories to discuss Australia's cultural, social, and political diversity in depth.

The Transnational Voices of Australia’s Migrant and Minority Press
Author: Catherine Dewhirst
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303043639X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This edited collection invites the reader to enter the diverse worlds of Australia’s migrant and minority communities through the latest research on the contemporary printed press, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to our current day. With a focus on the rare, radical and foreign-language print culture of multiple and frequently concurrent minority groups’ newspaper ventures, this volume has two overarching aims: firstly to demonstrate how the local experiences and narratives of such communities are always forged and negotiated within a context of globalising forces – the global within the local; and secondly to enrich an understanding of the complexity of Australian ‘voices’ through this medium not only as a means for appreciating how the cultural heritage of such communities were sustained, but also for exploring their contributions to the wider society.

Immigration and Exile Foreign-Language Press in the UK and in the US
Author: Stéphanie Prévost
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350107050
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Both Britain and the United States have had a long history of harbouring foreign political exiles, who often set up periodicals which significantly contributed to community-building and political debates. However, this varied and complex journalism has received little attention to date, particularly regarding the languages in which it was produced. This wide-ranging edited volume brings together for the first time interdisciplinary case studies of the exile foreign-language press (in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Flemish, Polish, among other languages) across Britain and the US, establishing a useful comparative framework to explore how periodicals tackled key political, linguistic and literary issues from the 19th century to the present day. Building on the existing literature on the exile foreign-language press in the United States and developing the study of this phenomenon in the British context, Immigration and Exile Foreign-Language Press in the UK and in the US offers fresh perspectives into how these marginalised periodicals influenced the political, economic and social contexts that brought them into existence. This is a major contribution to the burgeoning field of transnational periodicals and will be of interest to anyone studying the history of the Anglo-American press, the history of immigration and cultural history.

Jewish Antifascism and the False Promise of Settler Colonialism
Author: Max Kaiser
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031101235
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This book takes a timely look at histories of radical Jewish movements, their modes of Holocaust memorialisation, and their relationships with broader anti-colonial and anti-racist struggles. Its primary focus is Australia, where Jewish antifascism was a major political and cultural force in Jewish communities in the 1940s and early 1950s. This cultural and intellectual history of Jewish antifascism utilises a transnational lens to provide an exploration of a Jewish antifascist ideology that took hold in the middle of the twentieth century across Jewish communities worldwide. It argues that Jewish antifascism offered an alternate path for Jewish politics that was foreclosed by mutually reinforcing ideologies of settler colonialism, both in Palestine and Australia.

Ethnic Media and Democracy
Author: John Budarick
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030164926
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Placing ethnic media within the context of democratic theory, this book suggests novel ways of thinking about media from the margins. After discussing ethnic media research and defining the concept, John Budarick provides a succinct and in depth discussion of liberal democracy, deliberative democracy and agonistic pluralism, critiquing the explanatory and normative power of each in relation to media, journalism and ethnic diversity. Ultimately, Ethnic Media and Democracy demonstrates the power of agnostic pluralism, an underused theory in media studies that provides a framework for analysing ethnic media. By using this unique approach, the book engages with some of the most pressing issues in the fields of media, politics and democracy, and prompts innovation in the application of traditional models.
