Description
This is the first of two volumes which bring together a selection of the best, most influential and commonly cited essays and articles in Australian history and place them in a framework of critical commentary. Much research and writing in Australian history between 1974 and 1994 has occurred in separate specializations. Interesting debates have taken place in isolation. This work integrates the major debates within a common framework and opens up an array of scholarship to students and the general public seeking a generalist account of Australian history.
