Australian Made is a collection of essays about the writers, the readers and the texts of multicultural Australia. Despite the different approaches they take, the essays address a number of questions that are important for understanding Australian multicultural society and Australia's national literary culture.

How does multiculturalism intersect with different genres and generic conventions? How is cultural diversity expressed and enacted within life writing, women's writing, experimental writing, children's literature, poetry, prose and film? What does it mean to be a ‘multicultural writer’ in Australia today? What is a ‘multicultural text’?

Presenting the work of critics and scholars from Australia and abroad, this collection creates a synergy between local and international perspectives as it explores what it means for a writer or a reader to be ‘Australian’ and a text to be ‘Australian made’.
