Summary Note "'Admission impossible' is the true story of the behind-the-scenes political forces and propaganda campaigns that attempted to populate Australia with 'pure white' migrants. The fear of being 'swamped' with Asian immigrants kept this policy in place for over seven decades. This compelling story tells how the shifts and upheavals in Asia - from colonial control to emerging new nations - caused great unease in Australia and strengthened the government's resolve to keep Australia 'white' and 'European'. Eyewitness accounts and recently discovered confidential documents reveal how immigration officers carried out racial selectivity following examination by medical officers for signs of 'colour'. - Back cover.
