Abstract Cossack displaced persons who were re-settled in Australia as part of the post-war International Refugee Organisation scheme had already survived several turbulent eras. Anti-Bolshevik Cossacks refashioned their identities in the post-Civil War period as Russian émigrés and then, during the Second World War, as anti-Soviet collaborators of the Germany Army. At war’s end these Cossacks were rounded up by the British and handed to the Soviets. This paper traces the traumatic (and opportunistic) migration trajectory of one Cossack family, who escaped forced repatriations to become ‘New Australians’.

Abstract Using life story interviews with 10 Sri Lankan Tamil refugees resettled in Australia, this article shows how family separation in experiences of civil war and resettlement produce long-lasting and emotional memories of fear and determination. The findings explore how young Tamil people gave meaning to family when they interacted with key individuals and negotiated cultural practices in different spaces. Moreover, intergenerational family narratives emerged as a key practice through which Tamils preserved the family identity. The analysis demonstrates how and when family separation can manifest in personal memories to reveal stories of agency and resilience. A critical engagement of the past can help to better understand concepts of childhood in relation to family and family separation in war affected diaspora communities.

This special issue engages with histories of refugees and ‘family’ and their intersections with aspects of memory studies – including oral history, public storytelling, family history and museum exhibitions and objects. The impetus for this special issue arose out of a collection of papers presented at Professor Joy Damousi’s ARC Laureate Fellowship conference, ‘Global Histories of Refugees in the 20th and 21st Centuries’ at the University of Melbourne in October 2016. The authors presented papers that engaged in some part, conceptually or empirically, with memory and public storytelling relating to refugee families seeking asylum. We know that border crossings and the search for refuge are experiences shared by children, siblings, parents, partners and families. Emerging histories work to move us away from a focus on individual adults or nationally defined cohorts towards multilayered and rich histories of groups and individuals with a variety of intersectional affiliations, socially and historically constructed, including that of family. In the social sciences and the humanities, studies of refugees in Australia have often addressed individuals and groups (ethnic or politically defined cohorts) and shared personal stories, but rarely within a family context.1 Perhaps because they were the first refugee cohort to highlight the need for a specific policy for refugee processing and reception in Australia, South Vietnamese refugees arriving after 1975 have been the subject of much academic study. Some in the social sciences have explored intergenerational tensions that arise from refugee sponsorship and reunification after long periods of separation and violence.2 Culturally situated understandings of family and family dynamics are a strength in this context; but the ongoing evolution of memories of migration, influenced by new social and political contexts and changing dominant discourses around multiculturalism and refugeeness, also necessitates that historians return to earlier studies. As historians, we should be compelled to consider the conflicting layers of meaning built up around (racialised and de-racialised) refugee groups throughout the twentieth century,

Abstract Spatial narratives of neighbourhood decline – stories about threats to neighbourhood resources – were crucial in reinscribing racialised class boundaries in the late nineteenth century. In 1894, white middle-class property owners in San Francisco’s Powell Street district protested the Board of School Directors’ decision to relocate the city’s only Chinese public school to a condemned building in their neighbourhood, leading to the renovation of the school’s existing structure within Chinatown and new efforts to restrict both Chinese and Japanese urban settlement. I analyse this event to show the importance of space for the race–class intersection. Protesters described the financial, social and moral costs of living near a Chinese school, thereby establishing racial criteria for middle-class identity and mobility. Theories of racial space must consider discursive links between race, class and space because spatial narratives that reproduce economic dominance over racial minorities help to maintain the racial order.

Abstract This paper compares and contrasts Russian Jewish migration through Ireland and Wales during the period 1900–1930. In doing so, this paper sets out to explore two key questions: (i) Did the Jews who settled in different parts of Britain and Ireland originate from specific provinces in Russia? (ii) Did the location of Jewish settlement in Britain and Ireland have any bearing on the rate of secondary migration to the USA?
