This edited collection invites the reader to enter the diverse worlds of Australia''s migrant and minority communities through the latest research on the contemporary printed press, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to our current day. With a focus on the rare, radical and foreign-language print culture of multiple and frequently concurrent minority groups'' newspaper ventures, this volume has two overarching aims: firstly to demonstrate how the local experiences and narratives of such communities are always forged and negotiated within a context of globalising forces - the global within the local; and secondly to enrich an understanding of the complexity of Australian ''voices'' through this medium not only as a means for appreciating how the cultural heritage of such communities were sustained, but also for exploring their contributions to the wider society.

Industry Reviews

"This is a fascinating edited book ... . I enjoyed reading this edited volume. It explores a subject that has been little looked at in such depth. It therefore makes an important contribution to the existing literature on migration history and media studies, and illustrates the scholarly benefits of combining both of these fields. I recommend it to readers, both expert and general." (Jatinder Mann, JACANZS, Vol. (1) 1, June, 2021)
