    Abstract

    This thesis interrogates the ambiguous and complex understandings surrounding the term ‘Eurasian’, which has emerged in Australia as a political, cultural and social reality from the neighbouring South and Southeast Asian region. Participants’ narratives of migration and identity were examined in order to gain insight into how this particular ‘mixed race’ identity is understood and negotiated in everyday life, and how migration processes which include recreating senses of ‘home’ and belonging, have impacted on these understandings.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
