Diaspora, Hybridity and the Nation: Asian-Australian Perspectives in Literature and Theatre

澳大利亚与亚洲的接触对我们的国家安全和经济发展仍然至关重要。更好地了解澳大利亚的亚洲人将增强澳大利亚向亚洲地区解释自己的能力。这项研究还涉及对国家的福祉和凝聚力具有重要意义的主要问题：种族关系，和解，国家地位和全球化。通过突出亚裔澳大利亚人在国家文化生活中的贡献，这项研究有助于丰富公共生活，促进更强有力的社区关系。

Australia's engagement with Asia remains central to our national security and economic development. Better understanding about Asians in Australia will enhance Australia's capacity to interpret itself to the Asian region. This research also addresses major concerns that are of significance to the wellbeing and cohesiveness of the nation: race relations, reconciliation, nationhood, and globalisation. By foregrounding the contribution of Asian-Australians in the cultural life of the nation, the research serves to enrich public life and foster stronger community relations.
