The children of immigrants face the conflicting forces of their cultures and that of their adopted land. Ruth Johnston studied three ethnic groups in Perth - Polish, German, and British, with an Australian control group. The purpose of her study was to see how immigrant children reacted to these conflicting cultural values. Her findings make for revealing reading.
