This book looks at the historical and contemporary impact of
minority immigrant and ethnic communities on the built and social
environment in Australian cities, rural and regional areas. The
emphasis is on the changing social use of these buildings - places
of worship, ethnic clubs and community associations, immigrant
restaurants and retail outlets, museums, memorials and landmarks
and other places and spaces created by immigrant communities -
rather than on their architectural merit. These places and spaces
are sites of bridging and bonding social capital, of social
interaction between immigrant communities and their local
communities. In both the Australian cities and the 'bush' (an
Australian colloquial term for non-metropolitan dwellers), the book
investigates how the places built and used by minority ethnic
communities have transformed Australian life in complex and
sometimes contradictory ways. In Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, the
book investigates the historical development of Chinatowns and
their contemporary dynamics.
