Australia: A Biography of a Nation, by Phillip Knightley (read 27 Jan 2003) This book spends most of its time on Australia after federation in 1901, and I found it of great interest. Chapter 7, entitled "Black Australia", was especially eye-opening for me. I found this a great book, though maybe the author is not too objective, and there are no footnotes nor bibliography. A most worthwhile book, and some chapters are extremely informative and attention-holding. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Australia celebrated one hundred years as a nation in 2001. This book - part history, part travelogue, part memoir - tells the inspiring story of how a one-time British colony of convicts turned itself into a prosperous and confident country. Through the eyes of ordinary people, Phillip Knightley describes Australia's journey, from federation and the trauma of the First World War, the desperate poverty of the Depression, with its attendant spectres of secret armies and near-civil war, the threat of invasion in the Second World War and the immigration that followed it, and the slow but steady decline in the relationship with Britain, the 'Mother Country', as Australia forged its own unique identity.
