It tells how a community founded by sojourners and migrants, adapts to a new and sometimes hostile homeland, far from the place of their ancestors' birth. The book is structured into three main sections: The historical narrative about the association -- the work it has performed and its own struggles to maintain a relevant identity as political change ebbed and flowed in both Asia and New Zealand - The events and community involvement of the association, whether as an initiator or as a contributor, including coverage of the branches around the country that form the membership of the NZCA - The names of people involved in the association, from the official records, including the executive officers, conference delegates, organisers of the annual sports tournaments and the recipients of honorary awards."--Wheeler's website.
