The Changing Face of Australia: A Century of Immigration 1901-2000 by Kate Walsh

Book Description

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

Since 1901, millions of people from all over the world have made Australia their home.

This extraordinary photographic record tells the stories of some of these immigrants and reveals how profoundly they have influenced all aspects of Australian life.

Across five hundred photographs, we see people on their journey to Australia, in hostels, learning English, building homes and clubs, finding jobs, enjoying family and community celebrations, playing sports, sharing their food and more.

This book highlights the contributions made by immigrants to the nation's working life, on its cane fields and construction sites, farms and pearling luggers, and in factories, cafes and businesses.

The photographs also explore the changing attitudes, policies, and practices of the Australian community and its governments. They reveal the emergence of cultural diversity as an integral part of Australian society and identity.

Many faces, Many stories.
