Lamb tells the stories of an unusual collection of men who, by being aliens in a largely unwelcoming country, have been omitted from the historical narrative. More than a dozen of these medical practitioners arrived and contributed to the welfare of Australian communities during the hundred years prior to the dismantling of race-based immigration policies, and this book examines not only what they achieved, but the political, social, and economic context in which they operated and the prejudice with which they dealt.

Through its forensic investigation of archival materials both in Japan and in Australia, as well as contact with descendants of the men, this study book throws unprecedented light on their trials and tribulations, and on the factors most important in determining acceptance and performance in a discriminatory environment. Moreover, through its many illustrations, explanations, and general narrative, it draws the reader into the personal lives of the doctors and what they faced. At the same time, its inclusion of detailed mortality and morbidity statistics, and their analysis in conjunction with population and economic parameters, will doubtless prove an important resource for medical historians. In its depth of research and access to relevant information in both countries and languages, this book contributes to Australia-Japan relations and understanding, and sets a new standard in cross-cultural research.

A valuable resource for Australian and Japanese researchers and students of international immigration, medical history, the politics and character of racism, Asian Studies, and International Relations. Migrant narratives further enjoy broad international appeal in countries including Asia, the United States, and Europe.
