National pride and multiculturalism

TL;DRAbstract

The author traces trends in attitudes toward ethnic assimilation and multiculturalism in Australia. "'Hard multiculturalism' was promoted by the left-liberal intelligentsia. It valued separate ethnic cultures and denigrated mainstream Australia. It is now being supplanted by 'soft multiculturalism' which values tolerance, acceptance and inclusion, values that have long been central to mainstream Australia."
