title = "A Shared Social Identity: Oral Histories of an Urban Community of Italian Market Gardeners in Adelaide 1920s-1970s",
abstract = "In the late 1920s unprecedented numbers of Italian migrants arrived in Australia. Among the “white aliens” was a group of 17 men and 1 woman from the Veneto region of Italy who established commercial market gardens in Adelaide. This chapter explores concepts of shared social identity within the context of a migrant community in Australia between the wars. It draws on 46 oral history interviews recorded over ten years, primarily with second-generation family members living in Adelaide and two in Italy. The recordings, disseminated on a website with photos and documents, communicate individual and community memories of families and their experience of migration. The chapter also examines the use of digital technology as a transnational resource to transmit a historical record of a migrant community.",
