Black, White & Gold
8 New Ground all golden country but very poor Three months after Clark was killed, William Simpson, eight other miners and twenty-two Taupota carriers returned to prospect the ‘likely looking’ country they had seen on the upper Mambare. From ‘Clark’s Fort’, a log hut about 12 miles upstream from Tamata, the miners cut a track south to a point high above the western bank of the Mambare where they built ‘Simpson’s Store’. Using the store as a base, the miners spent five months cutting tracks and testing the creeks feeding the Mambare. They prospected the Chirima, the main tributary coming in from the west, and followed the Mambare beyond the Chirima junction into the lower Yodda Valley. The track from Clark’s Fort to the Chirima junction crossed no land much above 2000 feet, but it was a hard walk with many creek crossings, thick undergrowth and cliffs which had to be climbed with the aid of vines and makeshift ladders. John Green took only thirteen days to travel from Tamata to the junction and back, but at the end he threw away the new boots he had put on at the start. After MacGregor had seen the prospectors’ tracks he wrote that they had carried out ‘by far the most arduous undertaking ever performed by any private exploring party in the colony’. When the miners came down the river in January 1896 they had 46 ounces of gold. The upper Mambare, Simpson reported, was ‘all golden country, but very poor’. Beyond the Chirima junction they had prospected one creek which, they thought, might be profitable. -

Soon missions were established in every colony in the West Indies. Under Coke’s leadership, missions were also sent to Sierra Leone (1811) and Ceylon (1813). In 1804 the Methodist Conference set up a Standing Committee of Finance and Advice to manage its foreign relations and from 1813 onwards district auxiliaries were formed to support the work of the overseas missions. -

Reformulating Citizenship: the Nikkei in Canada and Australia
Reformulating Citizenship: The Nikkei in Canada and Australia Patrick Haid A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and Philosophy University of New South Wales March 2011 ii Originality Statement “I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project's design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged.” Signed: . Date: . iii Abstract This thesis traces the experience of Japanese immigrants and their descendents (or Nikkei) in Canada and Australia from their arrival in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, until after the deportation of substantial numbers of each community in 1946 and 1947. Using Bosniak, I argue that the pre-war position of the Nikkei within each nation exemplified the tension between concepts of universal rights, and the need for boundaries in liberal citizenship. At the end of the war, both Canada and Australia attempted to deal with the incoherence presented by these groups by deporting those that they could, and extending historic rights to those who remained. -
