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.
This is the first book on global teachers and the increasingly
important phenomenon of ‘brain circulation’ in the global
teaching profession. A teaching qualification is a passport to an
international professional career: the global teacher is found in
more and more classrooms around the world today. It is a two-way
movement. This book looks at the growing importance of immigrant
teachers in western countries today and at teachers who exit from
western countries (emigrant teachers) seeking teaching experience
in other countries. Drawing on the international literature in
Europe, North America, Asia and elsewhere supplemented by
rich insights derived from recent Australian research, the book
outlines the personal, institutional and structural processes
nationally and internationally underlying the increasing global
circulation of teachers. It identifies the key drivers of global
teacher mobility:Â a range of factors including family,
lifestyle, classroom experience, travel, opportunities for
advancement, discipline, linguistic skills, taxation rates,
cultural factors and institutional frameworks and policy support.
The book is the first detailed contemporary account of the
experiences of Australian immigrant and emigrant teachers in the
schools and communities where they teach and live. It makes an
important and original theoretical and empirical contribution to
the contemporary fields of sociology of education and immigration
studies.

Reprinted in paperback. The consumption of culture is one of the
most important aspects of tourism activity. Cultural tourism
includes experiencing local culture, traditions and lifestyle,
participation in arts-related activities, and visits to museums,
monuments and heritage sites. This book reviews a wide range of
qualitative and quantitative research methods applied to the field
of cultural tourism, including surveys, mystery tourist visits,
visitor tracking, grand tour narratives, collages,
researcher-created video, photo-based interviews, ethnographic and
actor-network approaches. It provides a practical guide on how to
conduct research as well as a discussion and evaluation of the
methods.
Immigration has expanded dramatically in both traditional and
emerging receiving nations. This worldwide boom has profoundly
altered urban areas as new arrivals have transformed inner cities
and suburbs alike into bastions of new ethnic economic activity.
Examining the essential role of space in assisting and modifying
ethnic business activity, this book considers how ethnic economies
are reshaping the urban landscape in the United States, Britain,
Australia, Canada, Germany, and Italy. Each chapter explores the
significance of urban space and local context in the development of
an ethnic economy and how, in turn, ethnic economies have helped to
recreate urban neighborhoods. With its international scope and rich
case studies, this book will be invaluable for scholars and
students alike in the fields of ethnic studies, urban studies,
economic development, geography, and sociology.
