Book excerpt: The global movement of millions of people seeking better lives or refuge from persecution has given debate in Australia over immigration and multiculturalism a new urgency. What once seemed a settled policy framework accepted by most political shades of opinion is now being widely questioned again. Does Australia need more immigrants or have we reached the limits of social, political and environmental tolerance? Should immigrants and refugees adopt the customs and traditions of the host country or create cultural enclaves within it? Does multiculturalism threaten national identity and is this desirable or not? Has our experiment with multiculturalism been a success and should it continue? In this book, some leading Australians debate these issues with British and American experts in the field.
