description: This book contains eight stories told by Croatians who migrated to Australia between 1949 and 1996. From a variety of regions, big cities and small villages these four women and four men came to Australia with different expectations and motivations. Some came as political refugees, some to find a more stable and prosperous country away from war and the dangers and uncertainties of their homeland. Together the individual stories collected in Split Lives portray the colorful variety of migrant experiences.
