My Australian Story: The Melting Pot: The Diary of Edward, Chek Chee, Sydney 1903-1904 by Christopher W Cheng

Beschreibung

Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. The year is 1901 and Australia is about to become its own country, forging a new identify from Great Britain, with it own governing body that unites the independent colonies as one nation. This is the diary of Chek Chee, a Chinese boy living in Sydney; but life for this boy is unusually different. Edward, Chek Chee, lives with his parents above their store in Sydney's Chinatown. His mother's family is from England. His father is from China. Set in the early days of the White Australia policy, Edward's individual struggles are played out as the Chinese community as a whole battles for the rights other Australians take for granted.
