Australia: land and nation

2330 mots 10 pages
Australia has always being seen as a multicultural white nation at the zenith of the British imperialism which proved the success of the colonization.
Even if Australia became more tolerant and multicultural, the myth of a nation of Bushmen where Aboriginals were invisible still persisted during the 20th century.
First of all, to understand that the national identity refers to the identity of Britain (by assimilation process), we have to conceptualize the meaning of nationalism as a desire for power.
Thus, we can define the Australian national identity like a feeling of being associated with a national group, which defined by common heritage based on the race, territory, language and history.
By the way, in this essay, I will explore the extent to which different stories and visions of Australia are unsettled by counter-stories, in other words, how the first stories have been denied by more recent events.
Defining the Australian complexity, I will consider the Australian sense of what they are, what they stand for, where they have come from and where they are going.
Still nowadays recent debates in Australia are established about the notion of identity and belonging, but the former Australian settler colony is often excluded from post-colonial debates.
Furthermore, ideas about what or who constitutes a settler nation receive little attention outside the societies directly implicated in that term; but problematic issues still remain in the mentalities, like Aboriginal treatment and immigration policies constitute a fair society?
In a first part, I’m going to remind a brief historical European settlement, the British perception of their settlement and analyze the consequences on Aboriginal peoples; then in the second part, I will approach the Aboriginal perceptions of the land and how they fight to be recognize as citizens; and finally I will theorized and show how the first part has an incidence on the second.

During the European exploration in the 18th
