Ethnicity and Public Space in the City: Ethnic Precincts in Sydney

Jock Collins; Editor ; Patrick Kunz

Economics; Sociology; Human Geography ; Ethnic Precinct, Public Spaces, critical infrastructure, regulation, authenticity

Ethnic precincts are one example of the way that cultural diversity shapes public spaces in the postmodern metropolis. Ethnic precincts are essentially clusters of ethnic or immigrant entrepreneurs in areas that are designated as ethnic precincts by place marketers and government officials and display iconography related to that ethnicity in the build environment of the precinct. They are characterized by the presence of a substantial number of immigrant entrepreneurs of the same ...

Queer Sovereignty: the Gay & Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands

Judy Lattas; Macquarie University, Sydney

Gender Studies ; Cosmopolitanism, Queer, Nationalism, Secession, Micronation, Gay & Lesbian Kingdom

What can the spectacle of gay nationalism tell us about the reality of our cosmopolitan dream? My suggestion in this paper is that it challenges the assumption that simply invoking cosmopolitanism, or indeed embodying it as a style and a politics, is enough to secure the rights and recognition that were previously obtained by means of territorial claims and independent flag waving. It teaches us in order to reach an end – that of cosmopolitanism - it may be necessary to recommence ...

Ethnic Residential Segregation in the United Kingdom by Age Group: the Case of Bradford

David McEvoy; Bradford University

Ethnic Studies: Human Geography; Urban Studies ; age; census; ethnic minorities; residential segregation; riots; United Kingdom

There is a long running debate on the significance of ethnic residential segregation levels in Britain. These phenomena have been related to the extent of community cohesion in British cities, and particularly to the riots of 2001 in the north of England. Further light is cast on these issues by examining ethnic segregation by age in the case of Bradford, the location of the largest riot. Both the dissimilarity index and the exposure index are used to consider relations between ...

Measuring and Comparing Civil Societies

Mark Lyons

politics; sociology; nonprofit studies ; civil society, measuring civil society; nonprofit organisations.

In most countries (Australia is an exception) the term ‘civil society’ is widely used by social researchers, activists and government officials. However its analytical value is limited by its great variety of meanings. The article proposes that if ‘civil society’ is to be of any use analytically it should be capable of being measured. It outlines two related efforts to measure civil society and to compare it cross nationally and identifies several problems with those approaches.

Human Geography; Sociology ; Racism; anti-racism; race talk; Australian cities

Cities are indeed places of everyday racism, experienced as ethnocentrism, prejudice and ethnic-based hatred. Drawing on an Australia-wide telephone survey of respondents' experiences of 'everyday' racism in various contexts, conducted in 2006, we examine forms of racist experience, as well as the contexts and responses to those experiences for Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, Australia’s main immigrant-receiving cities. Results show that between 1 in 10, and 1 in 3 respondents, depending ...
