AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Roll with Tom Dusevic as he tumbles through childhood and adolescence in this tender and exuberant memoir.
'Born into a Croatian migrant family, Tom spent his childhood roaming the streets of Canterbury/Bankstown in the 1970s, and he vividly describes the experiences of his family as they grow up – and into – a new culture. It’s a tale of discomfort and regeneration, of people not quite settled in their new skin, both the younger and older members; feet in both camps, with hearts and head tugged between the two.'
