This subject examines Australian immigration and settlement processes. Since 1945, five million people from more than 140 countries have come to Australia. How was the relatively harmonious process of integration achieved? What were the concerns of the host society and what were the expectations of the newcomers? What sort of settlement policies were in place to accommodate vast numbers of people, many from non-English speaking backgrounds? The outcome of these policies in political, cultural and economic terms will be analysed.
