A study of the intentions, hopes and experiences of a group of Italians who emigrated to Australia but returned home to Italy between 1960 and 1970.

While some of the 138 Italians recalled Australia with affectionate nostalgia, they also recall the problems they encountered - language, housing, employment, discrimination - which kept so many of them on the fringe of Australian society, isolated and confused. (book flap)
