Australian Genesis

Résumé du livre

This is a new updated and expanded edition of the first and most comprehensive account of the early Jewish settlement of Australia. Its span is now extended to include the gold rush era, a period from which many Jewish-Australian families are descended. This is an enthralling book in its own right. Intensely human, it is also an important work of scholarship which illuminates many little known corners of Australian history and casts a fresh light on the popularly accepted versions of some well-known incidents.
