Description

The fifth and final book in the Chinese Australians series explores how Chinese people have helped shape Australia's identity through their hard work, creativity, and cultural traditions.

From the early days of migration and life on the goldfields to overcoming discrimination and building strong communities, this book traces the lasting impact of Chinese Australians. Students will discover how Chinese influence can be seen in food, business, farming, language, celebrations, education, and trade. Each chapter reveals how Chinese culture has become an essential part of modern Australian life.

The book also looks to the future-examining new waves of migration, growing cultural exchange, and the evolving relationship between China and Australia.

Written for upper primary and lower secondary students, The Chinese Legacy brings history to life and celebrates diversity, understanding, and the shared stories that connect us all.
