“…For example, the ethnic group model, which persists today within some, though not all, of the migrant service delivery programs, is of concern to those involved in the delivery of these programs because it often means that migrant disadvantages are often defined through ethnicity. That is, the migrant's cultural background is often seen as the cause of the problem (de Lepervanche, 1984;Jakubowicz, 1981;Martin, 1987). Further, if language problems are removed, then it is thought that migrants will be in no different a position from AngloAustralians.…”

“…Some argue that multiculturalism and ethnicity pose a threat to the Anglo-Australian nation and culture (Blainey, 1984). Others claim that multiculturalism and ethnicity can pose problems for the social, political and economic rights of migrants (Jakubowicz, 1981; Lepervanche, 1990;Martin, 1991). Yet others argue that the strength of Australian national identity, and its extreme forms of nationalism and racism, has declined with the advent of multiculturalism (Castles et al, 1988).…”

With the massive changes occurring in global migration, one issue which continues to attract particular attention is that of immigration policy and its effects on migrants' ethnic identity or ethnicity. An associated issue of great concern is the effects that immigrants have on national identity. In Australia, multiculturalism has taken on a generally positive meaning, especially for migrants, as an arrangement of specific social policies and programs. However, both multiculturalism and ethnic identity are frequently under attack from various sectors of the community. This paper examines both multiculturalism and ethnic identity and the relationship between them in order to understand the contradictions and ambivalences embedded within them today. Further, in order to understand the shifting position of multiculturalism, ethnic identity and national identity, the analysis focuses on the relationship between racism and resistance.

“…(Rooth, 1968, quoted in Bullivant, 1986 Finally the development of multiculturalism (cultural pluralism) is discussed. Bullivant recognises the argument of Jakubowicz (1984), which is consistent with Mullard's analysis, that multiculturalism can be used as a means of hegemonic control, but proposes that Australian pluralism is 'multi-faceted':…”

In this discussion consideration is given to a model of analysis which was developed in the process of examining curriculum responses to the presence of ethnic minority groups in some West Midlands schools. The model is related to two basic notions. First, the notion of educational ideologies, which can be interpreted as various and complex. Second, the notion of ideological competition between dominant and challenging or assertive groups in society, reflected, in part, through the existence of competing educational ideologies. The proposed model of analysis is discussed in relation to some general curriculum literature and to some specific attempts to analyse curriculum responses to ethnic minority groups.

“…Berlowitz (1984) and Edari (1984), for example, explore the relationship of race to schooling through such standard concepts as minority failure, underachievement, and drop-out rates. But for Berlowitz (1984), Jakubowicz (1985), and others, racial inequality in schooling is at best symptomatic of more powerful class-related dynamics operating within the neo-Marxist framework: "For this purpose, ethnicity, racism, and sexism must be understood in the proper perspective as forms of ideological mystification designed to facilitate exploitation and weaken the collective power of the labouring classes" (p. 8).…”
