Fremantle's Italy by Richard and Michal Bosworth

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent.

An informative and lively account of the history of the Italian Australian community of Fremantle. From its beginnings in the 1890s and through several generations, Italians have made an important and colourful contribution to Fremantle life.

The authors bring to life the tensions that existed over time, both within the community and between Italian Australians and the wider communities. The inherent tension arising in a community made up of people from different regions and consisting of different waves of arrivals from Italy. The trials and adversities faced by the community in Australia, suchas the periods of internment during WWII. (Foreword)
