AMF LETTERS TO AUSTRALIA

Fresh, Diverse Voices Imagine the Future

Letters to Australia is an initiative from the Australian Multicultural Foundation (AMF) aimed at amplifying voices not always heard in the national conversation. This online collection of ‘letters’ elevates the voices of young advocates and thinkers so they may be heard by the wider Australian community. It also seeks to encourage curiosity and open mindedness about Australia’s future in the community more generally.

The many forms of contemporary racism

The American sociologist W.E.B Du Bois wrote “the problem of the twentieth century [was] the problem of the color line” referring to the racial inequity and relations among people of different ethno-national backgrounds (Du Bois, 2008, p. 15). After more than a century of global wars, revolutions, and national social movements, the colour line remains visible in many parts of the world through perpetual ethnic and racial inequities, systemic racism, and racial hatred.
