Description 2 volumes (xxxii, 636, xxvi, 644 pages) : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm Series Cambridge concise histories Contents Volume 1 : Indigenous and colonial Australia -- Volume 2 : The Commonwealth of Australia Summary "Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and describes how they brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. Now, with the realisation that colonisation began with invasion, present-day Australians are - more than ever before - coming to terms with their past. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future."--BOOK JACKET.$ Notes Includes index Previous ed.: 1999 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Textbook HUMS 2011 2006 Subject Republicanism -- Australia.
