Michi's Memories: The Story of a Japanese War Bride

More about the book

This book tells the story of Michi, one of 650 Japanese war brides who arrived in Australia in the early 1950s. The women met Australian servicemen in post-war Japan and decided to migrate to Australia as wives and fiancees to start a new life. However, it was beyond anybody's anticipation how difficult it would prove to be for them to become Australians. The author is a reseacher at the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies in Australian National University.
