TEN POUND POMS by A. James Hammerton Paperback Self Help Business
More than a million Britons emigrated to Australia between the 1940s and 1970s. They were the famous ‘ten pound Poms’ and this is their story. Illuminated by the fascinating testimony of migrant life histories, this is the first substantial history of their experience and fills a gaping hole in the literature of emigration. The authors, both leading figures in the fields of oral history and migration studies, draw upon a rich life history archive of letters, diaries, personal photographs and hundreds of oral history interviews with former migrants, including those who settled in Australia and those who returned to Britain.
