Mosler and Catley show Australia as migrant Americans see it, warts
and all! They begin with an examination of the evolution of the
United States as a major dominant power in the international
system, emphasizing the duality of its external power coupled with
its troubled and variegated society--the greatest wealth coexisting
with some of the world's most difficult cities. But, as they point
out, very few people emigrate from this melting pot, and many of
those that do leave go to Australia. They are seeking employment,
adventure, and, for some, a refuge from the difficult aspects of
American life. The more than 250,000 Americans who have gone to
Australia since WWII are mostly well-qualified professional people
who have developed good life styles and contribute significantly to
many aspects of Australian life. But some, particularly women, are
also dissatisifed and describe varying degrees of anti-
Americanism, despite Australia being among the most receptive of
societies to American ideas and culture. Americans also tend to
bring their political orientations with them. Many are now becoming
Australians whose children want to stay. Australia is only a bit
further than California and it brings its own surprises. Relying on
survey data, interviews, and their own experiences, Mosler and
Catley provide answers to many questions about the
American-Australian connection.
