This chapter honours the work of Professor Sneja Gunew who died in January 2024. It pays particular attention to how her analyses of Australian multiculturalism remain pertinent to the pursuit of migration studies on Indigenous lands. Gunew’s family migrated to Australia as Displaced Persons when she was four years old and migration and displacement were themes she explored across her vast generative body of work. Gunew was at the vanguard of the burgeoning and intersecting fields of multicultural literature and critical multiculturalism, to which she brought a strong grounding in feminist and postmodern theory. Of special interest in this chapter is how Gunew’s work on and in Australia was received before she moved to Canada in 1993. As will be seen, Gunew was a multicultural nomad and diasporic intellectual, but she never left Australia behind, and it remained central to her life and work.
