该项目将通过对“白澳大利亚”概念的调查，为人们提供对白澳大利亚历史的新理解。白人的国家？作为对不断变化的世界秩序的防御性反应。它将调查的历史出现？白人?作为一种新的认同模式，在跨国知识流通的背景下，尤其是在澳大利亚和美国之间。它将调查联邦开国元勋的种族身份是如何影响国家建设项目的。它还将列出反对该项目的意见，指出从属群体向国际网络和组织求助。

The project will offer new understandings of the history of White Australia through an investigation of the idea of the ?white man's country? as a defensive response to a changing world order. It will investigate the historical emergence of the ?white man? as a new mode of identitication in the context of the trans-national circulation of knowledge especially between Australia and America. It will investigate the ways in which the racial identities of the federal fathers informed the project of nation-building. It will also chart opposition to the project noting the recourse of subordinated groups to international networks and organisations.
