The British Diaspora in the Modern World: A Social History of British Migration and Transnational Networks since the 1960s.

作为一个移民国家，保持对有助于国家构成和特性的各种和重叠的历史线索的知情讨论是澳大利亚的重大利益所在。英国在20世纪后期对这一进程的重大贡献，以及它所揭示的移民过程中更广泛的转变，在移民研究中被大大低估了。这个项目适时地探索了英国-澳大利亚人的经历，以及他们更广泛的流动性，因为许多移民采用了更连续的流动模式。了解不同移民文化适应和归属感的复杂脉络，对政策制定者以及公众和学术辩论都是有价值的。

As a migrant nation Australia has a vital interest in maintaining informed discussion of the diverse and overlapping historical threads that contribute to national make-up and identity. The substantial British contribution to this process in the later 20th century, and the wider shift in migration processes it illuminates, has been significantly understated in migration research. This project undertakes a timely exploration of British-Australians' experience, and their wider mobility, as many migrants adopt a more continuous pattern of movement. Understanding the complex threads of different migrant cultures' adaptation and 'belonging' will be valuable for policy-makers and for public and academic debate.
