Description
Something's Missing…in Australia Crafted from her diary entries, Amalija Berc's Something's Missing…in Australia - tells her personal story of immigrating to Australia as well as stories of other migrant-friends and acquaintances who have arrived a decade earlier. Woven with the details of unwelcoming locals, isolation, betrayal, humiliation, and racism is a story of damage from other side as well: a product of strict upbringing influenced by Catholic religion. Amalija sought solace in marriage and her parents' beliefs but neither supported her in her time of need as a newcomer in a strange land. Through Something's Missing…in Australia, Amalija hopes to encourage Australians to show more kindness and respect to migrants and recognize and appreciate their great contributions (often with their hard work and cheap labor) in transforming a backward Australia (after WW2) into a beautiful, modern, industrial and multicultural country of today.
