解説

The author sets out to examine migration movements to Australia and the role of successive immigration legislation: from the notorious White Australia Policy through to the contemporary multicultural agenda. Her detailed case study sheds new light on the experiences of Polish migrants of the 1980s and their children in Melbourne.
The story of successive waves of migration - particularly following the Second World War - and the influence of these on multicultural Australia provide the context of this study. Of particular interest is the relationship between the policy of multiculturalism and language maintenance among first generation Polish migrants and their children (the second generation).
In her empirical study of language maintenance, the author analyses 'push' and 'pull' factors for migration from Poland to Australia. She examines the costs of migration; Polish migrants' experiences of Australia's multicultural policy; an evaluation of parents' migration by their children; re-migration to Poland; interaction between Polish migrants and Australian-born people; and the influence of domains such as the home, institutions of learning, the Polish Catholic Church, the media and other organisations and spheres of Polish cultural activity.
