The book presents the first comprehensive history of Swiss
settlement in New Zealand. It describes Swiss settlement in New
Zealand from the time of the gold rushes in the 1860s to the
present day in a very accessible way. The focus is on the
Swiss-born migrants: who they were, why they came, how they have
adapted to life in New Zealand, and their ongoing links with their
homeland and the Swiss community in New Zealand. The migrants'
stories are set in the historical and social context of the period
in which they arrived. The book is a mixture of archival and other
research of primary and secondary resources, and life history
interviews. It will appeal to academics interested in the New World
and migration studies and to Swiss living in New Zealand and
elsewhere.
