This edited collection is the first of two volumes and invites the reader to enter the diverse worlds of Australia’s migrant and minority communities through the latest research on the contemporary printed press, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to our current day. With a focus on the rare, radical and foreign-language print culture of multiple and frequently concurrent minority groups’ newspaper ventures, these volumes have two overarching aims: firstly to demonstrate how the local experiences and narratives of such communities are always forged and negotiated within a context of globalising forces – the global within the local; and secondly to enrich an understanding of the complexity of Australian ‘voices’ through this medium not only as a means for appreciating how the cultural heritage of such communities were sustained, but also for exploring their contributions to the wider society.

"Dewhirst and Scully once more bring together a thought-provoking compilation of original studies of Australia's minority and migrant press. The thematic scope and chronological range are wide. There is much to be learned and pondered in this well-edited volume." - Cameron Hazlehurst, Australian National University "The authors show how diverse groups used print culture to strengthen their communities and challenge those in power. In the spirit of 'history from below' these essays demonstrate that a focus on marginalised groups can cast light on wider national, diasporic and world histories." - Ann Curthoys AM, University of Sydney, Australia "The fascinating essays compellingly restore unjustly neglected communities and visions to their rightful place. They provide a valuable new perspective on Australian history and an important contribution to global and alternative journalism studies." - Mark Hampton, Lingnan University, Hong Kong This book brings together long-obscured histories to discuss Australia's cultural, social, and political diversity in depth. The history of Australia's migrant and minority print media reveals extensive evidence for the nation's global connectedness, from the colonial era to today. A fascinating and complex picture of Australia's long-term transnational ties emerges from the smaller enterprises of individuals and communities in the distant and more recent past. This book explores the authentic voices of minority groups which challenged the dominant experiences, patterns, and debates that have shaped Australia. Catherine Dewhirst is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. She has published on Italian-migrant histories and coedited, with Richard Scully, The Transnational Voices in Australia's Migrant and Minority Press (Palgrave, 2020). Richard Scully is Associate Professor in Modern History at the University of New England, Australia. He is the author of numerous studies of the history of cartoons and caricature, including Eminent Victorian Cartoonists (3 volumes, 2018) and British Images of Germany (Palgrave, 2012).

Drawing the Line: Using Cartoons as Historical Evidence brings together essays from international scholars working with cartoons in their research and teaching. It is a showcase for some of the best recent scholarship in this field, with articles exploring racial and ethnic stereotypes, as well as representations of youth, gender and class across a number of key historical epochs. Cartoons are among the most vivid and familiar images of past politics and opinion, but tend to be used merely as 'illustrations' for historical works. Drawing the Line, however, provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of cartoons as sources in their own right. The British Regency Crisis, post-Civil War US politics, Anglo-Iraqi interaction in the Second World War, and Yugoslav Communist propaganda are just some of the themes through which the effective use of cartoons in historical writing is explored.--About page.
