Reflecting an increasing concern with her image as an Asian state, Australia in 1966 proposed dramatic changes to liberalize her non-Caucasian immigration policy. This thoroughly researched book is the first historically and sociologically comprehensive study of changing attitudes and resultant policies.

The book provides historical background and covers political parties' attitudes and public opinion on discrimination against non-European immigrants, the relationship between immigration policy and foreign policy, and related issues.
