Valkoinen Australia: Teinivuodet siirtolaisena 70-luvun Australiassa, E-bok
Toinen suuri siirtolaisaalto Suomesta Australiaan tapahtui 60-luvun lopulla. Edellinen oli ollut kymmenkunta vuotta aiemmin. Australiaan muutti vuonna 1968 tilastojen mukaan noin 1,500 suomalaista, pääosin Australian valtion tukemana. Matkaan lähti myös Nurmisen perhe Liikkalan Turkian kylältä keskeisestä Kymenlaaksosta.Valkoinen Australia kertoo Australiaan muutosta ja siirtolaisuudesta perheen kuopuksen, 12-vuotiaan pojan näkökulmasta, ja sopeutumisesta uuteen kulttuuriin ja koulunkäyntiin hänen teinivuosinaan.Miten kaksi kulttuuria kohtaavat? Miten teini-ikäinen poika sopeutuu uuteen ympäristöön toisella puolella maailmaa? Mitä ongelmia kielitaidottomuus tuo tullessaan, ja miten se vaikuttaa koulunkäyntiin ja uuden oppimiseen? Miten se vaikuttaa teini-ikäisen kehitykseen?Tarinassa pureudutaan kouluväkivaltaan, sekä rasismiin, joka vielä 60-, ja 70-luvulla vallitsi Australiassa, jossa siirtolaisuus alun perin perustui niin kutsuttuun ”White Australia Policy:iin”. Toisen maailmansodan jälkeen Australia katsoi olemassaolonsa edellytykseksi maan kansoittamisen ja väestömäärän nopean kasvun. Vaikka siirtolaisia tarvittiin, ja kaikki tahot Australiassa sen hyväksyi, siirtolaiset joutuivat kohtaamaan rasismia ja syrjintää.Tähän ympäristöön ja maailmaan tuli teinipojan sopeutua. Orientoitua koululuokkaan, jossa hän oli ainoa ei-englantia puhuva oppilas. Selviytyä yksin kulttuurieron ja kielimuurin tuomista esteistä, ja sopeutumisen haasteista.

A Concise History of Australia
Stuart Macintyre, one of Australia's most highly regarded historians, revisits A Concise History of Australia to provoke readers to reconsider Australia's past and its relationship to the present. Integrating new scholarship with the historical record, the fifth edition of A Concise History of Australia brings together the long narrative of Australia's First Nations' peoples; the arrival of Europeans and the era of colonies, convicts, gold and free settlers; the foundation of a nation state; and the social, cultural, political and economic developments that created a modern Australia. As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, Macintyre's Australia remains one of achievements and failures. So too the future possibilities are deeply rooted in the country's past endeavours. A Concise History of Australia is an invitation to examine this past.
