Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Ex library copy with protective plastic covering. Some wear to edges.

Western Australia's cultural, political, economic and social character owes a huge debt to its Italian migrants. Since the 1880s, Italians have enriched the state with their hard work, traditions and culture. From the farmers of the South-West to the miners of Kalgoorlie and the fishermen of the northern coast, Vite Italiane contains the remarkable stories of hundreds of Italian migrant families and is essential reading for all proud Italian-Australians.

Winner of the 2010 Western Australian Premier's Book Awards (State Library of Western Australia WA History Award) and shortlisted for the 2011 Margaret Medcalf Award.
