Voices of Challenge in Australias Migrant and Minority Press [Hardcover]

This book brings together long-obscured histories to discuss Australias cultural, social, and political diversity in depth. The history of Australias migrant and minority print media reveals extensive evidence for the nations global connectedness, from the colonial era to today. A fascinating and complex picture of Australias long-term transnational ties emerges from the smaller enterprises of individuals and communities in the distant and more recent past. This book explores the authentic voices of minority groups which challenged the dominant experiences, patterns, and debates that have shaped Australia.
