AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'New Gold Mountain is a ‘revisionist Western’ drama series, aired on SBS TV in October 2021 and currently available via SBS On Demand. Set in 1857, in the Victorian goldfields town of Ballarat, it tells a story of Chinese mining endeavour and paints this community as a central part of the gold rushes. The body of a murdered European woman is discovered, suspicion falls on the Chinese community, and simmering racial tensions come to the fore. The lead character, Leung Wei Shing, the headman of the Chinese camp, navigates through the murder investigation, keeping the white authorities at bay, yet delving within the Chinese community to uncover the circumstances of the death.'(Introduction)

    'In early 2022, we know that most readers yearn for a reprieve from living in ‘interesting times’. Under the cloud of a continuing pandemic, we have watched in horror as floods threaten so many fellow residents in Australia and as war wreaks havoc and worse in Ukraine. The editorial team as a whole extends its heartfelt sympathies to the current victims of climate change and of Vladimir Putin’s megalomania. On social media we have been at least gratified to share with followers the store of excellent articles we have published over 19 years on environmental disasters and the Ukrainian-Australian relationship.' (From the Editors : Introduction)
