'Migrants, Television and Australian Stories: A New History' examines the intertwined histories of television and migration in Australia, told from the perspectives of migrants who worked in the screen industry and the many more who watched television. The first comprehensive Australian study of migrants and television, it explores the ways multicultural audiences have experienced the small screen over seven decades.

‘An invaluable and insightful examination of how far we’ve come in showcasing our stories and communities, and a reminder of how far we’ve yet to go.’ – Benjamin Law
