By Marji Hill
0 - Default Title
Description
This book explores why anti-Chinese feeling grew so strong, leading to harsh laws, open discrimination, and even violent riots. Students will learn about the Buckland Valley Riot and the notorious Lambing Flat Riot, where anger boiled over and mobs drove Chinese miners from the goldfields. The story of the "Roll-Up" banner and the treatment of the rioters reveals much about the attitudes of the time.
Through these events, readers will discover how cultural differences, competition for gold, and fear of change fuelled prejudice. The book also asks an important question: What can we learn from this history today?Written for upper primary and lower secondary students, this engaging and accessible text brings history to life while encouraging reflection on fairness, tolerance, and the value of diversity.
