Synopsis
The definitive story of how immigration made Australia
Many Australians can trace family journeys to new lives in Australia. In this landmark work, Mark Cully tells the full story of immigration to Australia, from pre-colonial origins through colonisation, the gold rush, the post-war immigration boom, the end of the White Australia policy, and the modern policy of temporary migration.
Rigorously researched, the book dismantles persistent myths, gives human faces to statistics, and maps the forces that transformed a distant colony into one of the world's most diverse societies. He traces how immigration has changed Australia, making it bigger, younger, diverse, less provincial and more powerful.
This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where Australia came from, the fraught politics of immigration, and lessons for the future.
'Essential reading, perfectly timed. One of the most important policy books of 2026.' -George Megalogenis
'Supported by an expert economist's keen eye for detail and filled with scintillating facts, Waves of Plenty weaves individual stories against the backdrop of larger social, economic and political forces to show how the most pivotal periods of migration shaped our nation.' -Alice Pung
'Mark Cully's detailed and lively account of the waves of migration that have shaped Australia provides new insights into our society, our economy and our place in the world. Written with a researcher's head but a (migrant) writer's heart, it goes beyond the numbers to highlight the richness of the migrant experience and contribution. Waves of Plenty is the best kind of history book - a joy to read.' -Danielle Wood, chair of the Productivity Commission
