Australia is the second most English country in the world, yet, taken as the norm, this largest immigrant group has never been analysed in detail. Dr James Jupp provides fascinating new insights into the impact the English have had on Australian life in the first book ever written on the subject. Beginning with familiar stories of convicts, explorers, and early settlers, and then the various waves of immigration over the 19th and 20th centuries, the book concludes with reflections on today's english immigrants, now considered 'foreigners'. Anyone interested in tracing their English ancestry will find this book compelling reading, and helpful in bringing to life senses of the places, conditions, occupations, and so forth that their ancestors lived through.
Read more- It deals with the English in Australia and should be of interest in both countries. It adopts a particular slant on Australian history and society. It is well illustrated with pictures and maps. There is no other book directly on this topic.
