Dr Tanja Bueltmann is Senior Lecturer in History at Northumbria University. Her recent monograph Scottish Ethnicity and the Making of New Zealand Society, 1850 to 1930 (Edinburgh, 2011) was short-listed for the Saltire Society Scottish History Book of the Year. She has published widely on the history of the Scottish and English diasporas, co-editing Locating the English Diaspora, 1500-2010 (Liverpool, 2012). Bueltmann is Co-Investigator of the AHRC funded project 'Locating the Hidden Diaspora: The English in North America in Transatlantic Perspective, 1760-1950’.

This first-rate book confirms the importance of scholarly research on the still sparsely surveyed terrain of the shared and unshared ideas and actions among diverse settlers of British origin, whose varying levels of visibility are brought into the spotlight in this study. It deserves a wide readership and will, I hope, encourage further research into similar and more recent periods of history, including other sets of British migrants in New Zealand and comparable sites of settlement.
