Waiting for the Revolution: A History of Australian Nationalism

Front Cover
Penguin Books, 1989 - History - 388 pages
Why hasn't there been an Australian revolution? Have test matches been our substitute for Bunker Hill? And what about Eureka, Ned Kelly, the Bulletin and the Heidelberg painters? Has state nationalism always been dominant? Are the RSL really better nationalists than the Communist party? How old is the 'ocker'? Has multiculturalism enhanced national consciousness? And why haven't we become a republic?
