Still Fighting for Our Rights: The Ongoing Struggle for Civil Rights in the USA, 1965-1980

美国的民权斗争与澳大利亚的民权斗争有着密切的相似之处，因为这两个国家都是新的、文化多元化的社会，种族在定义民族性格方面发挥了核心作用。我们的研究将有助于进一步加强澳大利亚和美国之间的密切联系，并将提高澳大利亚高等教育在美国的形象，因为明钦和萨尔蒙德在美国都发表了广泛的著作，特别是在这一领域。最近关于美国民权的学术热潮大部分是由美国以外的学者开展的，特别是在欧洲，让澳大利亚的学者和机构处于这个充满活力和相关领域的核心是至关重要的。

The American civil rights struggle has close parallels with Australia's, since both countries are new and culturally-diverse societies where race has played a central role in defining the national character. Our study will help to further strengthen the close links between Australia and the U.S., and will raise the profile of Australian higher education in the U.S, since both Minchin and Salmond have published widely in the U.S, especially in this field. Much of the recent upsurge in scholarship on U.S. civil rights has been carried out by scholars based outside the U.S., especially in Europe, and it is vital to have Australian-based scholars and institutions at the heart of this vibrant and relevant field.
