In den WarenkorbSoftcover. Zustand: As New. First Edition. Sterling condition softcover copy, with unfurled tips, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. From the publisher's blurb, "The book focuses on the Irish miners who arrived during the gold rush and stayed on to build lasting communities. Fraser… looks at their origins in Ireland, their migration journeys, and how they adapted to life in a rugged and remote part of New Zealand. He uses personal letters, oral histories, and official records to show how these settlers maintained family ties, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions. The West Coast towns they helped shape were lively and diverse, with hundreds of pubs and boarding houses springing up almost overnight. Fraser also examines the role of women, the importance of Catholicism, and the social networks that helped Irish immigrants survive and thrive. This is the first detailed study of the Irish diaspora in that region, and it connects local stories to broader patterns of migration and identity." Range of black-and-white photographs, printed on high-gloss paper. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. [9], 10-203 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Rushing for Gold Life and Commerce on the Goldfields of New Zealand and Australia By Lloyd Carpenter (Edited by), Lyndon Fraser (Edited by). Publisher: Dunedin; Otago University Press; 2016. Very good softback, come cover creasing, corner creases, no inscriptions, minor marks. 396 pages, illustrat…ed. This is the first book to take a trans-Tasman look at the nineteenth-century phenomenon that was the gold rushes in Australia and New Zealand. It explores links between the rushes, particularly those in Victoria and Otago, to show that they were strongly intertwined affairs. The book brings together contributions from both experienced and newly emergent researchers, who together provide a close examination of miners' migration patterns, ethnicities and merchant networks. The contributors' insightful analyses and narrative accounts of the places, commerce and heritage of the rushes reveal a pantheon of characters, from merchants, hoteliers, financiers and policemen to vagrants, sly-groggers and entertainers, not to mention women, all of whom prompted and populate the mythology of the era, which this book does much to unravel and rewrite.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+. First Edition. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; 234, [2 (blank)] pages + 22 illustrations on 8 plate leaves. Page dimensions: 230 x 148mm. Various contributors. New Zealand history. "For almost 200 years, the English have been one of the larg…est migrant streams to New Zealand (they have been on the move globally since around 1600). Yet relatively little has been written about their experiences in New Zealand, compared with their Irish, Scottish, Indian, Chinese and Pacific counterparts. This book brings together leading international scholars and prominent local researchers to explore a wide range of topics and issues at the very heart of research into human mobility. Why did English-born people decide to emigrate? What factors shaped their migration and adaptation? How might we best describe and explain their experiences? This collection of essays will interest anyone interested in migration and/or family history.".
