Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.
In this book, an affectionate adieu to The Lucky Country, Donald Horne takes stock of Australia after the Bicentennial.
Horne examines what he calls public culture - the public expression of national character which seems uniquely Australian. He explores how Australian myths were invented and how they might be modified.
Horne also puts his speculation about Australia into an international context and is forthright in his views about how things really function in Australia compared with other countries. (back cover)
