Book excerpt: Anti-racist Discourse on Muslims in the Australian Parliament examines anti-racist discourse in contemporary Australian politics, in particular, how politicians contest and challenge racism against a minority group that does not constitute a traditional ‘race’. Using critical discourse analysis, this book firstly deconstructs the racist, xenophobic and discriminatory arguments against Muslims. Secondly, it highlights the anti-racist counter-discourse to these arguments. Since blatantly racist statements are less common nowadays, the book focuses on manifestations of ‘culturalist racism’. It does this by investigating how talk about Muslims positions them as not Australian or as not belonging to Australia – the book takes such ‘discursive exclusion from the nation’ as one of the most widespread forms of ‘culturalist racism’ in Western liberal-democracies. In addition to contributing to the theoretical discussion on the relationship between Muslims, racism and anti-racism, the book expands on methods that apply critical discourse analysis and the discourse-historical approach by providing a practical guide to analysing anti-racist political discourses.

Book excerpt: "Using critical discourse analysis, this thesis identified the existence of 'culturalist racism' in Australian parliamentary debates and investigated how politicians contested this... Parliamentary speeches from 2006-2007 showed that politicians' anti-racist talk about Muslims employed the concept of culturalist racism... This thesis makes two important contributions to existing research on racist and anti-racist political discourses. From a theoretical perspective, it shows that racism against Muslims is possible due to the way in which Muslim identities are essentialised through a complex blend of religion, culture and ethnicity. From a practical perspective, it develops new techniques for analysing anti-racist political discourses." -- abstract.
