Despite their shared experiences of migration and settlement, migrants nonetheless often exhibited distinctive cultural identities, which could be deployed for advantage. Migration established global mobility as a defining feature of the Empire. Ethnicity, class and gender were often powerful determinants of migrant attitudes and behaviour. This volume addresses these considerations, illuminating the complexity and diversity of the British Empire’s global immigration story. Since 1788, the propensity of the populations of Britain and Ireland to immigrate to Australia varied widely, but what this volume highlights is their remarkable diversity in character and impact. The book also presents the opportunities that existed for other immigrant groups to demonstrate their loyalty as members of the (white) Australian community, along with notable exceptions which demonstrated the limits of this inclusivity.Britain and the WorldIslands of the Pacific—HistoryImperialismEmigration and immigrationSocial historyAustralasian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/716000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Migrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Islands of the Pacific—History.Imperialism.Emigration and immigration.Social history.Australasian History.Imperialism and Colonialism.Migration.Social History.304.894325.94Payton Philipedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVarnava Andrekosedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910483610903321Australia, Migration and Empire2843938UNINA
