Fair to good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with all corners now protected with book tape. Heavily foxed foredges and inside covers and preliminary and endpages. Still very readable with very good binding. Too interesting a book to throw out. Essays from some of Australia's leading historians showing how Australian history has been rewritten in the past twenty years to accommodate different notions of Australian identity. Creating Australia argues for greater emphasis on the originality and agency of Australians and a greater appreciation of our achievements. It shows how recent historical research on the plurality of Australian experience can in fact contribute to a positive view of our past. With chapters from some of Australia's leading historians, including Ann Curthoys, Marilyn Lake, Janet McCalman, Peter Read, David Walker and Richard White, Creating Australia points to ways in which Australian history-making is changing and will change further. Shortlisted, Historical and Critical Studies Prize, Western Australian Premier's Book Awards 1998.
