Description
Australia, Wilkommen (1990) documents the rich and varying contribution made by Germans in Australia. Originally welcomed as hardy pioneers, German settlers were responsible for discovering and opening up vast tracts of land.
German scientists and entrepreneurs played a large role in the Australian economy.
But as the German empire expanded into the Pacific, and Britain and Australia were drawn into two world wars, perceptions of Germany and its people changed and immigrants were caught in the crossfire between the old and new worlds.
This book examines these issues surrounding German immigration into Australia, and the shifting perceptions of both the immigrants and the nation itself.
