The village of San Fior in north-eastern Italy and the city of Perth, Western Australia, provide a case study for an investigation of return visits in the immigration process. This title explores the relationship between identity and place by examining the phonomenon of return visits to the home country made by first and second generation Australian immigrants. It theorizes the "home" and "host" countries as part of the same social field. A strong oral history component brings the story alive and offers rich empirical data.

Softcover. Etat : FINE. Emigration is often perceived as a one-way journey -- leaving one's homeland and arriving in, and adjusting to, a new country. In fact, it can be a much more complex and long-drawn-out process than this. The small village of San Fior lies in northeastern Italy. Between 1900 and 1997, more than 200 of its residents emigrated to Perth, forming a closely linked Italian-Australian community. Many of them, and their Australian-born children and grandchildren, have since made visits home." This book explores the effect of these visits Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
