Red tape, gold scissors: The story of Sydney's Chinese

by Shirley Fitzgerald

"Red Tape, Gold Scissors" explores points of interaction of clash and of change. Cultural influence, like racism, goes both ways - as the Chinese in Australia have become increasingly visible since the demise of the 'White Australia Policy', so many Australian influences can increasingly be found in China. Drawing on extensive research and scores of interviews with Chinese families, Shirley Fitzgerald focuses on the Chinese community of Sydney to tell this fascinating, complex story of the Chinese link with Australia. - From the back cover
