Australia's Schism in the Soul: Colonialism, Immigration Detention and a Nation's Failure to Mourn

De (autor): Julie Macken

Australia's Schism in the Soul: Colonialism, Immigration Detention and a Nation's Failure to Mourn - Julie Macken

Australia's Schism in the Soul: Colonialism, Immigration Detention and a Nation's Failure to Mourn

De (autor): Julie Macken

How has it become possible for the Australian state to gain public acquiescence to develop one of world's most punitive systems of processing asylum-seekers; one that not only contravenes Australia's international humanitarian commitments, but that, in the words of activists, medical professionals, and the detainees themselves amounts to torture?

In this highly readable account academic, journalist and advocate Dr Julie Macken takes a psychoanalytic approach to both the country and its public to uncover why.

Dr Macken's investigation begins by outlining how the nation's failure to mourn its colonial past has led to a state of collective melancholia, with the result that denial and psychological splitting have prevented genuine reconciliation with First Nations peoples. The central part of the book offers a compelling account of the development of Australia's current system of privatised immigration detention and the political, economic and media forces that have sustained it that will resonate globally. In conclusion the book posits that political action in these circumstances--however distressing and visceral--should be adopted as a mental health strategy for both the person and the nation.

This timely work offers fresh insights for those working and studying in the areas of human rights, media, refugee studies, race theory, politics, mental health and psychosocial studies.
