From convict curses to contemporary hip-hop, discover how offensive words have reflected and shaped Australian culture and identity. This bloody beauty of a social history reveals the power of language to defy authority, liberate, and subvert, while also oppressing and punishing.

- Discover the unique dimensions of Australian English.
Perfect for readers interested in linguistics, Australian history, and cultural studies.
