Inhaltsangabe

As a land associated with extremes-from remote desert terrain to some of the world's deadliest creatures-few countries feel as geographically and culturally independent as Australia. Professor Mark McKenna, one of Australia's leading historians, digs deeper into this singular, often misunderstood continent, examining the lesser-acknowledged eras of Australian history that contribute to a complex and still-evolving definition of nationhood. In this concise, compelling account, he paints a portrait of a country still learning the extent of its political independence, reckoning with its past, and looking toward an ever-shifting future of politics, identity, and influence.
