Non-white Immigration and the 'White Australia' Policy H. I. London

Australia's image as an Asian state is largely predicated on the goodwill she can encourage as a result of student exchange, foreign aid and tech-nical assistance, military aid and an immigration programme that is not offensive to her Asian neighbours. This book evaluates the significance of recent changes in non-European immigration policy and contributing factors. It examines those groups desirous of maintaining the status quo and those pressuring for further modification of the policy. The author has analysed the changing nature of Australia's foreign policy and the manifestation of recent strategic commitments in immigration policy decisions. 336 pages $A7.00

Australia and the Colonial Question at the United Nations W. J. Hudson

Decolonization has posed acute problems for Australia, first, because it has transformed her political environment from an umbrella of submerged colonial societies to a collection of volatile independent states and, second, because it has affected her own colonial position in strategically sensitive Papua and New Guinea. In the setting of the United Nations this book examines the Australian diplomatic response to the phenomenon of decolonization, to the alienation of Western authority in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania.

228 pages $A6.00

Cook the Writer J. C. Beaglehole

The Endeaevour voyage was not only a 'Remarkable Occurrence' and an astonishing achievement, but it was also the last part of Cook's apprenticeship in, as well as mastery of, discovery — and in reporting on discovery, for on that voyage Cook learned how to shape his experience into words. The 6th Wood Memorial Lecture.

24 pages Paper $A0.60

Lucius Sulla: the Deadly Reformer E. Badian

The story of Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138-78BC) is the familiar one of the ruthless adventurer and sinister tyrant transformed by success into a revered statesman. Interest is added by the nature of the sources, which have bedevilled the study of Sulla more than that of most Roman leaders of the Republic. The 7th Todd Memorial Lecture.
