Families In Colonial Australia by Patricia Grimshaw and Chris McConville and Ellen McEwen

Traditionally, the family - the web of personal experience within it - has been relegated to the private domain; only recently have social historians come to recognise its value in revealing the process by which the day-to-day reality of the past can be made central to our history. This collection presents the work of historians who have chosen to explore the possibilities of this new field. Most see themselves as social historians, some have come to this area from an interest in women's history; all are concerned to illuminate forgotten or hitherto-unexplained aspects of the lives of ordinary Australians. This 1985 G. Allen & Unwin Paperback is in fair condition. Owner's Name inside. Spine cracked; foxing; old sticker mark on cover.
