| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project, focusing on multicultural Australia since the 1980s, examined the background in which the commemoration of imperialist wars still occupies a significant place for Australian national identity. With the outcome of documentary research and fieldwork, this project traced the transformation of Anzac Day as a symbol of ‘inclusive’ nationalism through the incorporation of diverse non-British minority groups in the multicultural society. It is also demonstrated, however, that the ‘multiculturalization’ of Anzac tradition has brought the debate over colonial history, such as the ‘frontier wars’ against the indigenous people, and foregrounded the conflict between indigenous and non-indigenous populations.
