Publisher's Synopsis
The Chinese Question in Australia, 1878-79 is a historical book written by Lowe K. Meng. The book explores the Chinese migration to Australia during the late 19th century and the social and political tensions that arose as a result. The author examines the discriminatory policies and attitudes towards the Chinese community, including the infamous 'White Australia Policy' and the anti-Chinese riots that occurred in various parts of the country. Through extensive research and analysis, Meng provides a detailed account of the Chinese experience in Australia during this period and sheds light on the broader issues of race, identity, and national identity in the country. This book is an important contribution to the historical literature on Australia and the Chinese diaspora, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the social and political history of the country.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
