New Zealand Migration is part of The NZ Series, which simply introduces a range of themes for general and school readers. The author, Philippa Werry, recounts the stories and experience of migration to Aotearoa — from the first Polynesian arrivals to the Dawn Raids, from the New Zealand Company to ten-pound Poms, from Dutch and Dalmatian refugees to today’s Asian Kiwi communities. The history of the Italian presence on New Zealand is small compared to these other nationalities, but for the first time it is recorded in a history book for Intermediate and Secondary School students (pages 66-68). There are also two photos: one of Italian tunnellers working in the Tongariro Power project in the 1960 (page 66) and one of fishermen on the beach at Island Bay, Wellington, in the 1920s (page 67). At page 97 there is also a short mention about Nelson having Italian street names.
