Authored by Stig Hokanson, Eileen B. Johnson, and John S. Martin, and edited by Birgitta Sharpe, this meticulously researched work presents intimate portraits of Swedish migrants — their motivations, their struggles, and their ultimate fates in a land far removed from everything they had known.\n\nThe volume argues powerfully that migration history is not merely a story of statistics and demographics, but one of individual courage, loss, and reinvention, illuminated here through the rare lens of the Sanderson Archive. The authors' collaborative approach weaves together social history, personal testimony, and archival photography to produce a work of both scholarly rigour and deep human empathy. Underpinning it all is a profound question that resonates across time: what does it truly mean to leave one world behind and stake everything on another? Readers drawn to the intersections of immigration, identity, and the forging of modern Australia will find this an indispensable and deeply moving account.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336808308955,"sku":"2026100009068-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/815f4990-01a0-4ed6-a27c-1f3e4cffa67b.png?v=1789958232","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009068-secondhand-one-way-passage-swedish-migrants-to-australia-in-the-james-sanderson-archive","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
