The Racial Politics of Australian Multiculturalism
White Nation, Against Paranoid Nationalism & Later Writings
A groundbreaking collection of seminal works by renowned anthropologist and cultural critic, Ghassan Hage. Praised by internationally acclaimed author ofComplaint!, Sara Ahmed, as 'a new way of accounting for race, its affective grammars, its holds and habits.'
The Racial Politics of Australian Multiculturalism brings together some of the most important and sought-after works by one of Australia’s leading anthropologists and cultural critics: Ghassan Hage. This groundbreaking collection features the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Hage’s seminal publication, White Nation: Fantasies of White Supremacy in a Multicultural Society, and the twentieth anniversary edition of Hage’s follow-up publication, Against Paranoid Nationalism: Searching for Hope in a Shrinking Society.
Along with a compendium of Hage’s later writings, The Racial Politics of Australian Multiculturalism is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the complexities of modern-day race politics on the unceded lands of a settler colonial society.
Foreword by Jumana Bayeh, Paula Abood, Sarah Ayoub and Randa Abdel-Fattah. Cover art by Amani Haydar.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
