New #OpenAccess publication!
'Subjects and Aliens' presents new legal and social histories of nationality, race and belonging in Australasia, exploring the experiences of people whose lives challenged white settler ideas about who 'belonged' in Australia and New Zealand.
Chapters include:
–Jane McCabe on intergenerational land ownership and Chinese and Dalmatian farmers in NZ
– Sophie Couchman on Chinese Australians, race and WWI (unpicking the idea of 'not substantially of European origin or descent')
– Margaret Allen on Indian Australians and the fight for for imperial citizenship
– Emma Bellino on Australian women who lost their nationality through marriage to foreign men.
25 years after I first stumbled upon the story of Charlie Allen and his mum Frances in the National Archives in Sydney, I've now made contact with his great grandson!
With little memory of Charlie remaining in the family, it's lovely to know that my research has finally found its way to them.
Charlie's letters home to his mother, written from Guangdong in the early 1910s, are a rare first-person account of the experiences of an Anglo-Chinese Australian child living in China at that time.
I've published the story as: ‘Writing home from China: Charles Allen’s transnational childhood’, in Paul Longley Arthur (ed.), Migrant Lives: Australian Culture, Society and Identity, Anthem Press, London, 2018.
