New Zealand Migration

Description

'In a country inhabited for a mere thousand years, everyone is an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant.' - Michael King With six books now published, The NZ Series is a valuable non-fiction resource for general readers and schools, introducing complex subjects in simple, concise terms. In this seventh volume, Philippa Werry recounts the stories and experience of migration to Aotearoa - from the first Polynesian arrivals to the Dawn Raids, from the New Zealand Company to ten-pound Poms, from Dutch and Dalmatian refugees to today's Asian Kiwi communities. Extensive illustrations, fact boxes and personal experiences bring to life an immigrant nation from a range of perspectives. New Zealand Migration will make an excellent introduction for understanding our migrant nation.
