“And yet we are still excluded”: reclaiming multicultural queer histories and engaging with contemporary multicultural queer realities
chapter
posted on 2015-01-01, 00:00 authored by L Low, Maria Pallotta-ChiarolliMaria Pallotta-ChiarolliIn this chapter, we contend that reclaiming multiculturalism entails engaging with and including sexual and gender diverse histories, heritages and contemporary realities. We explore the ongoing dilemmas, concerns and strategies in placing “multisexuality” and “multigender” on the “multicultural” agenda in Australia, particularly in relation to policy development and research. We discuss how “reclaiming multiculturalism” and the promotion of “global citizenship” requires a reclaiming of multicultural queer histories and heritages, achieved through decolonising research projects, postcolonising socio-political activist networks, and publications that engage with multiplicity in identities and communities, or “multiple lifeworlds”.
