Description
Between 1940s and 1970s, more than a million Britons migrated to Australia, leaving behind their homeland for a new life. This is their story, as told by the authors through a vast collection of personal letters, diaries, photographs, and interviews with former migrants.
The 'Ten Pound Poms' were driven by diverse motivations, shaped by changing gender relations, family dynamics, and cultural identities. The authors explore these themes in depth, shedding light on the complex experiences of migrant life histories.
