Asians in New Zealand: a geographical review and interpretation

Throughout the history of mankind there have been migrations of groups of people for economic, political, social, cultural and various other reasons. Geographically speaking, migration results in the transplantation of a group of people to a new physical, social, cultural and economic environment. The migrants affect, and are effected by, the milieu of the new country. Considered from this point of view, the Asian immigrants in New Zealand are to be seen as an element in the total geographical context of the country. A study of Asian immigrants in New Zealand not only reveals their contributions to, and their distinctiveness in, the new environment, but also brings to light factors that influence both the environment and the immigrants.
