Abstract
On settlement to Australia, the refugee men regained civil rights they had lost as a result of forced migration. The men’s traditional rights as citizens of their ethnic communities continued to influence their views about entitlements in organising and pursuing intimacies in Australia. However, the men’s traditional rights were now challenged by legislations and the new ways of life in Australia that increasingly protected the rights of women and children. For some men, the complexity of understanding their entitlements to their traditional rights in Australia was aggravated by multiculturalism, a policy that encourages migrants to retain their cultural traditions in a predominantly Anglo-centric society. This became a foundation for new claims of recognition of traditional intimacy rights by these men—claims that allow us to see the nexus between intimacy, citizenship and migration.
