This scholarly work chronicles the formative period of restrictive immigration policies across North America and Australasia between 1836 and 1888. It uncovers the complex socio-political forces that led to the establishment of barriers against specific ethnic groups, shaping the demographic landscapes of these nascent nations. Charles A Price's meticulous research presents a compelling analysis of the legislative frameworks and public sentiments that underpinned these exclusionary practices. The volume illustrates how these early restrictions laid foundational precedents for future immigration controls, offering critical insights into the historical roots of contemporary debates on national identity and border control. This authoritative account details the profound impact of these policies on both immigrant communities and the societies that implemented them.
