It shows that they had every right to be counted as Australians, even in White Australia. The book's focus on Chinese Australians provides a refreshing new perspective on the important role the Chinese have played in Australia's past at a time when China's likely role in Australia's future is more compelling than ever.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 Belonging and exclusion\u003cbr\u003e 2 Mateship and modernity\u003cbr\u003e 3 Immigrant labour and goldfield fraternities\u003cbr\u003e 4 Revolution, respectability and Chinese Masonry\u003cbr\u003e 5 Chinese Australia at federation\u003cbr\u003e 6 The Australasian Kuo Min Tang\u003cbr\u003e 7 The Pacific shadow of White Australia\u003cbr\u003e 8 Entrepreneurs, clubs and Christian values\u003cbr\u003e 9 Being Australian\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52743043744024,"sku":"9780868408705","price":22.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/big-white-lie-chinese-australians-in-white-australia-paperback-softback-9780868408705","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
