Beschreibung
Investigating British and Irish identities during New Zealand's Otago gold rushes This book creatively explores the gold rushes in the Tasman World through an examination of the Otago gold rushes, revealing how transnational connections and local social and natural environments shaped colonial identities. The first monograph-length study on the Otago gold rushes and their place in the histories of British and Irish migration, it increases our understanding of the British World by grounding transnational networks in the local ecologies, geologies and weather patterns which shaped local social structures and profoundly affected migrants' relationships to loved ones in Britain, Ireland and elsewhere. Utilising gold-rush autobiographies, letters and diaries, as well as public commemorations, Daniel Davy explains the role of memory in forming ethnic and national identities in the early twentieth-century Tasman World. Daniel Davy is Associate Professor of History and Associate Dean of Faculty at Ave Maria University.
