Split Lives: Croatian Australian Stories by Val Colic-Peisker

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor marks on top foredges. Spine has creasing.

The stories collected in this book are told by Croatians who migrated to Australia between 1949 and 1996. Coming from big cities and small villages, and different walks of life, these men and women arrived in their adopted country with varying hopes and motivations.

Some came as refugees from war or the political dangers and uncertainties of their homeland; some came to find a more stable and prosperous country. Each encountered a world vastly different from the one they had left. (back cover)
