Synopsis:
After 1918, Australians embarked on a massive programme of construction of war memorials and centred around them civil ceremonies whose imagery, ritual and rhetoric constituted a religion - a cult of Anzac. This book traces the elements that gave rise to the cult, and looks at the rejection of the people who have been excluded from it.
Review: 'Sacred Places is the Australian history I have always longed to read... a cultural history rich in humour and insight about the reverence at the heart of a very irreverent country.' (Jill Ker Conway, author of The Road from Coorain)

The mylar protected jacket is immaculate as is the book, which appears never to have been opened. Overseas customers please note the book weighs over 1.5 kilos and will atrract additional postage - lots. ""Memorials to Australian participation in wars abound in our landscape. From Melbourne's huge Shrine of Remembrance to the modest marble soldier, obelisk or memorial hall in suburb and country town, they mourn and honour Australians who have served and died for their country. Ken Inglis argues that the imagery, rituals and rhetoric generated around memorials constitute a civil religion, a cult of Anzac. Sacred Places traces three elements which converged to create the cult: the special place of war in the European mind when nationalism was at its zenith; the colonial condition; and the death of so many young men in distant battle, which impelled the bereaved to make substitutes for the graves of which history had deprived them.The 'war memorial movement' attracted conflict as well as commitment. Inglis looks at uneasy acceptance, even rejection, of the cult by socialists, pacifists, feminists and some Christians, and at its virtual exclusion of Aborigines." (front flap).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This edition reprinted (with corrections) 1999. Memorials to Australian participation in wars abound in our landscape. From Melbourne's huge Shrine of Remembrance to the modest marble soldier, obelisk or memorial hall in suburb and country town, they mourn and honour Australians who served and died for their country. Surprisingly, they have largely escaped scrutiny. Ken Inglis argues that the imagery, rituals and rhetoric generated around memorials constitute a civil religion, a cult of Anzac. Sacred Places spans war, religion, politics, language and the visual arts. Ken Inglis has distilled new cultural understandings from a familiar landscape. **The jacket is rippled across the top.**.
