Author: John Rickard
Title: Australia: A Cultural History (The Present and The Past)
Description: longman 1988 Paperback, 304pp. This text is long established as a standard introduction to the development of modern Australian society. It begins with the centuries of Aboriginal habitation before the coming of the Europeans, and takes us through to the present. However, unusually, it is strongly weighted towards the twentieth century. It is arranged chronologically and a broad 'political' narrative emerges, but the book is not a chronicle, still less a laborious detailing of governors and governments; rather, it focuses throughout on the transmission of values, beliefs and customs amongst the diverse mix of peoples who are today's Australians. (ISBN: 9780582493308). Very Good.
