'Remembering Migration is an exciting and broad-ranging collection, primarily based in the fields of history, museum studies, and heritage studies, but with important research and insightful reflections for scholars of life writing. The twenty-two chapters in the collection cover migration to Australia from home countries across the globe, with most of the case studies and experiences examined linked to migration over the last seventy-five years. Geographically, and in varying degrees of detail, the collection covers conflict-related migration connected to the Greek Civil War, WWII, Vietnam War, civil war in Sudan, as well as wars in Afghanistan, Chile, and Iraq. It also surveys various avenues that governments and organizations developed for migration over time, including those relating to displaced persons (DP) at the end of WWII, British and European post-WWII mass migration, British child migrants, intercountry adoption as part of migration, as well as migration from Southern China between the 1850s and 1950s and from Italy in the 1920s.'
