  • More about Immigrant Industry: Building Postwar Australia


Migrants were crucial to the spatial making of modern Australia after the Second World War, contributing to postwar nation-building programs and altering the nation's physical landscape. This book aims to document the immigrant contribution to the built environment.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 354 pages
Publication date: 02 August 2024
Publisher: Berghahn Books


After the Second World War, migrants played a crucial role in shaping modern Australia. Federally funded industries, which were instrumental in postwar nation-building programs, relied heavily on the employment of displaced individuals from the war. These migrants were sent to remote, rural, and urban industrial sites, where they contributed to the nation's physical landscape by altering its physical features. This resettlement of migrants had a significant impact on Australia's economic base, providing it with the foundation it needed to thrive in the postwar period. While the immigrant contribution to nation-building in cultural terms is widely recognized, their everyday spatial, architectural, and landscape transformations have received less attention. This book aims to address this gap by comprehensively documenting the unique Australian shaping of the built environment during the postwar period.
