Synopsis: Covering the period from 1788 to the present, the subject provides an overview of immigration and settlement policies, the immigrant experience, and the impact of immigration on national identity. Case studies examine the experience of five minority groups: the Irish, Jews, Italians, Greeks and Chinese. The final part considers the differing experiences of male and female immigrants and the re-politicisation of immigration policy.
