Summary: This book analyzes condition that caused the emergence of pioneering Southeast Asian diaspora writers in Australia. These writers face the danger of being subsumed twice: first, by Australians from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan who dominate studies and productions on Asian Australian identities; and secondly, by Australia's dominant Anglo-Celtic and European cultures, which have proponents (e.g., Blainey, Hanson, Fraser) who persistently attempt to preclude diversity and dialogue in advocating a dominant value system.
