Farewell To Nippon
Japanese Lifestyle
Migrants In Australia
by Machiko Sato
|
 |
Sato presents an ethnographic account of a fresh breed of
emigrants who have left Japan to settle in Australia in pursuit of a
better quality of life. They differ from ‘economic migrants’ who
went overseas before the 1970s for economic reasons but represent new
types of ‘lifestyle migrants’ who seek to enjoy a more easygoing,
carefree life abroad. Based on some 200 interviews, the study portrays
the participants’ joy and sorrow, felicity and frustration as seen
through their own eyes and expressed with their own words and phrases.
The Japanese version of the book won the Asia-Pacific Publication Award
in 1995.
