About this listen

 This episode features A/Prof Yu Tao in conversation with Lucy Hair, exploring the untold stories of Chinese cabinet makers in early 20th-century Western Australia. Together, they examine how these skilled craftspeople navigated restrictive legislation, economic hardship, and social marginalisation—offering insight into the wider history of Chinese contributions to the state. Through personal stories and archival discoveries, this episode sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Western Australia’s multicultural past.
