Assimilation and Empire

国际上越来越多的人呼吁将移民社区融入社会，作为打击恐怖主义的长期手段。通过对同化历史的理解，这个项目引发了人们对当前同化情绪复苏的相当大的怀疑。文化多元化社会的政治是深刻的，但它们不会通过简单的诊断得到解决。同化政治不是当代恐怖主义的解决方案，而是问题的一部分。因此，这个项目的核心是直接解决国家研究优先事项--保护澳大利亚--的问题。

There are growing calls internationally for the integration of immigrant communities as a long-term means of combating terrorism. Through an understanding of the history of assimilation, this project provokes considerable scepticism concerning the current resurgence of assimilationist sentiment. The politics of culturally diverse societies are profound but they are not going to be solved by simplistic diagnosis. The politics of assimilation is not the solution to contemporary terrorism but part of the problem. Thus at the heart of this project lie concerns which directly address the National Research Priority, Safeguarding Australia.
