Series: Research in Migration and Ethnic Relations Series. Publisher: Oxfordshire; New York Routledge 2017Edition: 1st Ed.Description: xv, 201 p.ISBN: 9781138269156.Subject(s): Immigrants. -- Australia. Ethnicity--Australia. -- Emigration and immigrationDDC classification: 305.90691 Summary: In the late 20th century, the processes of globalization and transnational interaction had a significant impact on the relationship between migrants and their homelands. This impact produced new forms of nationalism and altered old ones. The book examines the case of Croatians and Slovenians in Australia and the extent to which migrants are influenced by historical and contemporary processes of migration mediated through political and cultural symbolism. The study explores the factors that influence the existence, nature, and intensity of ethno-nationalism in the migrant context. It analyzes both the existence and transmission of ethno-nationalism between migrant settings and homelands, and specifically deals with the transmission of ethno-nationalism sentiments across migrant generations. To fully understand the effects and consequences of long-distance nationalism, the book analyzes nationalism's public manifestations and the relatively private domain of diasporic ethno-communal existence. Overall, the book highlights the complex and dynamic nature of the relationship between migrants and their homelands, shaped by historical, political, and cultural factors.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
