How has the face of Australia been transformed by those who traveled across the world to call it home? In "'There Goes the Neighbourhood!'", Michael Dugan and Josef Szwarc provide a compelling and comprehensive look at the history of migration to Australia. Far from a dry academic text, this book explores the human stories, the struggles, and the triumphs of the diverse groups who have shaped the nation's social fabric. From the early colonial arrivals to the post-war boom and the shift toward multiculturalism, the authors examine the changing attitudes of the "Old Australians" and the lived realities of the newcomers. Richly illustrated with historical photographs and personal accounts, this volume challenges myths and highlights the immense cultural contribution of migrants to Australian life. It is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complex, vibrant, and sometimes controversial journey of Australia becoming one of the world's most successful multicultural societies.
