Book Description

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

Many people take for granted the cultural mix that is Australia's population, but what of the people who have created this diversity? What is it like to have come from somewhere else and settled in Australia?

To find out Liz Thompson interviewed and photographed over thirty people from a variety of countries and backgrounds. Their stories illustrate the ups and downs of adapting to life in Australia and provide a window into the experience of leaving one home in order to create another.

Confounded expectations, culture shock, conflicting national loyalties and a search for belonging - all these themes emerge in this anecdotal, sometimes amusing collection of stories about making a new life in Australia. (back cover)
