Review
This title appeared at a thrift store at a throwaway price. There are five stories by five authors and each contributes interesting and thought provoking experiences that I'm glad I took the time to read. I'm unsure of what to do with this book as there are probably a number of libraries that should hold a copy; but I don't see them listed on Worldcat.
Contents
p03 Chinese-Australian history vs huaqiao history: Chinese in north Queensland Kevin Wong Hoy
p17 Unfolding the silence: James Lee Wah (1832 - 1909) Chinese goldfields miner and Anglican missionary Chris Lee
p31 The wives of Hin Yung and Ah Whay: A goldfields story in the making Robyn Ansell
p41 History, heritage and identity James Twycross
p47 Tong family networks revealed through the camera's lens Sophia Couchman
Text review (reading of related texts)
While I have been reading music related, producer notes and musician biographies recently, these books are not family histories written in the style of Secrets Silences and Sources.
Reference/Citation
