Afterword: and then novel coronavirus happened ….This book examines the experience of race and ethnicity in Australia after the withering away of official multiculturalism. The first chapter looks at the role that multiculturalism has played and the impact of neoliberal ideas in the formation of the Australian state. The second chapter takes nightclubbing in the city of Perth during the 1980s, the peak period for official multiculturalism, to exemplify how diversity and exclusion functioned in everyday life. The third chapter considers the imbrication of Christianity in the Australian socio-cultural order and its impact on the limits of multiculturalism, with particular concentration on Islam and the Australian Muslim experience. Subsequent chapters discuss the exclusionary experience of various groups identified as non-white through the lens of films, popular music and television programs.
