Mobility and Community Change in Australia by I H Burnley, R J Pryor and D T Rowland

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Rich in information and backed with fresh and challenging insights into the relationship of internal migration and community change in Australia.

Rates of internal migration in societies are at record levels - one in every six Australians over 15 years of age change their residence each year. With the decline of immigration and fertility rates, population movement within countries is emerging as the dominant cause of change in rural and urban communities.

The book is divided into sections on town and country, ethnic minorities and regional perspectives. Subjects include studies on the Queensland town of Barcaldine, Bathurst-Orange, Belconnen new town, Greeks in Sydney and the Upper Murray and the urbanisation of Aborigines.
