Making Trouble: Essays Against the New Australian Complacency by Robert Manne

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Back cover left top corner has been bent back, now protected by book tape. Interior and binding are still very good.

In Making Trouble, Australia's leading public intellectual takes aim at the 'new Australian complacency'.

This is a book that will enlighten and provoke. It covers much ground, from Howard to Gillard by way of Rudd, from Victoria's bushfires to the Apology, from Wilfred Burchett to Primo Levi.

Making Trouble includes an essay on the new Australian complacency, an exchange of letters with Tony Abbott, an appreciation of W E H Stanner, a reflection on ways of remembering the Holocaust and an incisive analysis of the asylum-seeker issue, among others. (back cover)
