This collection examines how nationality and alien status were defined and applied in Australia and New Zealand. Through historical cases, its contributors trace the effects of legal classifications on military enlistment, land ownership, marriage and citizenship. The chapters bring statutes, court decisions and individual experiences together to show how belonging could change across jurisdictions and over time.
Topics include Chinese and Dalmatian farming families, Australian women married to foreign nationals, Srinivasa Sastri’s 1922 Australian tour, Western Australia’s 1944 citizenship legislation and the legal history surrounding Albert Namatjira. An introduction, contributor biographies, a table of authorities and an index provide routes into the legal and historical material.
