Australians are largely embracing of multiculturalism and welcoming of those born overseas, while national identity regularly influences public debate in Australia, without being clearly defined. How do Australians living in a multicultural society identify with their nation; how do they view themselves as citizens? This book examines Australia's cultural diversity, social cohesion and multiculturalism. It also discusses the symbols and attitudes which define what it means to be Australian. Also includes: worksheets and activities, fast facts, glossary, web links, index
