Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Australia's rush to commemorate allthings Anzac, have we lost our ability to look beyond war as the central pillarof Australia's history and identity?Thepassionate historians of the Honest History group argue that while war has beenimportant to Australia mostly for its impact on our citizens and our ideas ofnationhood we must question the stories we tell ourselves about our history.We must separate myth from reality and to do that we need to reassess thehistorical evidence surrounding military myths.Inthis lively collection, renowned writers including Paul Daley, Mark McKenna,Peter Stanley, Carolyn Holbrook, Mark Dapin, Carmen Lawrence, Stuart Macintyre, Frank Bongiornoand Larissa Behrendt explore not only the militarisation of our history but thealternative narratives swamped under the khaki-wash Indigenous history,frontier conflict, multiculturalism, the myth of egalitarianism, economics andthe environment. 'The Honest History group announced its arrival in 2013 with a clear, urgent purpose: to challenge the dominance of the Anzac legend in Australian popular memory. The group also took as its mission to remind Australians of the diversity of our history. The Honest History Book distils this approach in a series of compelling, highly readable essays by some of Australia's most distinguished historians.' Michelle Arrow'An important book, both timely and compelling: timely because it provides a powerful and much-needed riposte to the current practice of elevating military history above all other aspects of the nation's past.' Henry Reynolds'This book not only offers a vital corrective to the flimflams and taradiddles of Anzackery, but also gives us a new collection of fascinating essays on Australian history. Complex, inclusive, balanced, disruptive and crucially evidence-based, The Honest History Book is destined to provide a much-needed talking point for teachers, journalists, general readers and, with any luck, politicians and policy makers.' Clare Wright In Australia's rush to commemorate all things Anzac, have we lost our ability to look beyond war as the central pillar of Australia's history and identity?

Paperback. Condition: New. The passionate historians of the recently formed Honest History group argue that while war has been important to Australia - mostly for its impact on our citizens and our ideas of nationhood - we urgently need to question the stories we tell ourselves about our history. We must separate myth from reality - and to do that we need to reassess the historical evidence surrounding military myths.In this lively collection, renowned writers including Paul Daley, Mark McKenna, Peter Stanley, Carolyn Holbrook, Mark Dapin, Carmen Lawrence, Frank Bongiorno and Larissa Behrendt explore not only the militarisation of our history but the alternative narratives swamped under the khakiwash - Indigenous history, frontier conflict, multiculturalism, the myth of egalitarianism, economics and the environment.…

Author: Alison Broinowski Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 336 Arguing for the viability of the United Nations, this study calls for renewed commitment to the idealistic goals upon which it was founded and condemns the world's most powerful countries for withholding needed resources.

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: Alison Broinowski Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 260 Alison Broinowski, in this first major critique of Australian impressions of Asia, argues that Australians have been backward in developing an appropriate image of themselves because of their ignorance of and ambivalence towards Asians. She traces the history of Australian ideas about Asia and the Pacific from pre-colonial times to the present, and concludes that some of these perceptions, no matter how irrational or archaic, continue to underlie the political and economic decisions Australians make about the Asia-Pacific region. Broinowski, a longtime diplomat and writer about Asian issues, identifies Australian images of Asia, where they come from, and how they have changed or remained the same over time. She persuasively argues that until Asia is accepted as part of the mainstream of Australian life Australians will remain uncertain about their status, and that if Australia's international image is to change it must begin by acknowledging the reality of Asia.

Paperback. "This study explores how Australia appears to people from 10 Asian societies with the most significant interactions with Australia. The surveys concentrate on people whose views are on the public record in various media, who significantly reflect opinion in their society, and who can therefore be taken to be both influential and to some extent representative. The results of this comprehensive survey, which suggest Australia has an image problem in the region, are detailed." These are USED books. Please only purchase if you are happy with that.
