The injustice these 2000 men suffered through British internment in camps at Hay, Tatura and Orange is well known. Less familiar is the tale of what happened to them afterwards. This book tells that story, in two volumes, one in images, and one in life stories.The images constitute a narrative all of their own. The beauty and power of these traces of the lives of these internees speak for themselves. Once familiar with the images in the first volume, the reader will be able to embrace more fully the profiles in volume two. These are stories of struggle, sadness, transcendence, and creativity that describe the lives of these men and of the society in which they lived, first as prisoners and then as free men.A contribution to the history of Australia, to the history of migrants and migration, and to the history of human rights, these two volumes put in the public domain a story whose full dimensions and complexity have never been described. 'When scholars of such rigorous and refined erudition engage with a topic of such critical importance it is a cause for celebration, as are the lives themselves, painstakingly recorded so movingly herein. And all of it comes into the world not a moment too soon.' Elliot Perlman Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Stamps, stickers, date due slip and borrowers card pocket on inside front cover and blank preliminary page. Stamps on imprint page. Dust jacket is in very good condition. Pages are sunned. Body text and binding are still very good. A social history of the period from 1788 to 1870, from the beginning of British settlement of Australia to the year when the last British soldiers sailed home from the colonies. In his inimitable fashion, Inglis tells the story of convicts, currency lads and emigrants settling into their new land. The newcomers brought their traditional holidays from the old world and made their own fetes in the new. We see them facing natural enemies in the land and having their tranquillity shattered by bushrangers, rebellious convicts, military officers, and gold diggers. With them, we hear the sounds of distant war. We meet the men they honoured, and we read of efforts by poets and orators to turn the Australian experience into history. (back cover).
