goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-5520718_ITMRingbarkers (1) and market gardeners: a comparison of the rural Chinese of New South Wales and California. Full Article In writing about the experience of the rural Chinese in southern and western New South Wales (NSW), Australia, I am treading largely upon new ground. I seek to discuss primarily the Australian experience and also to begin to compare and contrast it with the American, or in this case the Californian, as exemplified by Sucheng Chang 1986 study, This Bitter Sweet Soil: The Chinese in California Agriculture, 18601910. Other Australian historians have written comparatively on the gold-rush and post-gold-rush periods in Australia and California. In 1979 Andrew Markus wrote Fear and Hatred: Purifying Australia & California 1850-1901, in which he compared and contrasted the racial experiences in both countries, and in 1994 David Goodman wrote a comparison of gold-seeking experiences in California and Victoria in the 1850s. But my paper is the first to include comparisons of the rural Chinese in both countries, and it should be seen as an initial exploratory foray into this area. (2)
