Farewell Australia by Pino Bosi

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Farewell Australia is not only a personal story of Pino Bosi, who came to Australia during the postwar migration, but also an informative essay on Australia's dramatic shift from a homogeneous society of Anglo-Saxon extraction to a culturally pluralistic one seeking a new identity.

One in every 5 people walking down an Australian street was born overseas. Altogether, they number almost 3 million and are the result of 25 years of uninterrupted migration. But now something new has happened. The advocates of a drastically reduced migration flow cite ecological concerns and the stress on Australian social infrastructure as the motivating reasons.
