Explore the intricate tapestry of multiculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand with 'Asians and the New Multiculturalism in Aotearoa NZ.' This groundbreaking book sheds light on New Zealand's fastest-growing demographic: the rich and diverse Asian communities. Delve into essential discussions around the multicultural framework that best supports New Zealand's increasing ethnic diversity.

The authors, Gautam Ghosh and Jacqueline Leckie, engage in critical dialogue about the Treaty of Waitangi and its evolving role in shaping immigration policy in a multicultural landscape. Can we imagine a collective embracing of multiculturalism across all citizens? This book challenges readers to consider how Maori, settler, and immigrant populations interact in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand.

This collection not only presents research on Asian communities but also highlights the ongoing tensions between the traditional bicultural approach and the rising visibility and claims of other ethnic minorities. It is a pivotal addition to the dialogue on population diversity, making it essential for those interested in multiculturalism, immigration policy, and ethnic studies in Aotearoa NZ.

Multiculturalism and Asian-ness converge in this insightful volume, inviting reflection on identity, belonging, and community dynamics within New Zealand.

Asians and the New Multiculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand presents thought-provoking new research on New Zealand’s fastest-growing demographic – the geographically, nationally and historically diverse Asian communities. What kind of multicultural framework best suits New Zealand’s rapidly expanding ethnic diversity? Can the Treaty of Waitangi – initially set up to accommodate British settlers and to recognise the tangata whenua – serve as the basis for New Zealand’s immigration policy in the new millennium? Could all citizens embrace multiculturalism? Aotearoa New Zealand is a fusion of indigenous, settler and immigrant populations. This collection examining Asian communities in Aotearoa highlights the unresolved tensions between a dynamic biculturalism and the recognition of other ethnic minorities that are increasingly asserting themselves. Multiculturalism and Asian-ness are addressed together for the first time in this articulate addition to the ongoing debate about the population diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand.
