Many Australians believe that immigrants have made their fortunes running milk bars, delicatessens or small businesses. Most, however, have done the dirty work of a developed country - cleaners, seasonal workers, labourers, process workers, all jobs for which the main qualification is to be unskilled and reward low wages.

The 17 immigrants in this book came to Australia between 1890 and 1970. (back cover)
