The author asseses the political and economic reasons why these people came in such large numbers (several hundred thousand), the policies of NZ authorities regarding migrants, promotion of NZ as a destination and how those who settled were influential in establishing the attitudes and persona of the Kiwi character over subsequent generations. He also covers the actual experiences of migrants on immigrant ships and the conditions they often "endured," class differences. the impact of the gold rush period on population growth and much else. An absorbing account of the country's formative years.
