Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. In Australia's rush to commemorate allthings Anzac, have we lost our ability to look beyond war as the central pillarof Australia's history and identity?Thepassionate historians of the Honest History group argue that while war has beenimportant to Australia mostly for its impact on our citizens and our ideas ofnationhood we must question the stories we tell ourselves about our history.We must separate myth from reality and to do that we need to reassess thehistorical evidence surrounding military myths.Inthis lively collection, renowned writers including Paul Daley, Mark McKenna,Peter Stanley, Carolyn Holbrook, Mark Dapin, Carmen Lawrence, Stuart Macintyre, Frank Bongiornoand Larissa Behrendt explore not only the militarisation of our history but thealternative narratives swamped under the khaki-wash Indigenous history,frontier conflict, multiculturalism, the myth of egalitarianism, economics andthe environment. 'The Honest History group announced its arrival in 2013 with a clear, urgent purpose: to challenge the dominance of the Anzac legend in Australian popular memory. The group also took as its mission to remind Australians of the diversity of our history. The Honest History Book distils this approach in a series of compelling, highly readable essays by some of Australia's most distinguished historians.' Michelle Arrow'An important book, both timely and compelling: timely because it provides a powerful and much-needed riposte to the current practice of elevating military history above all other aspects of the nation's past.' Henry Reynolds'This book not only offers a vital corrective to the flimflams and taradiddles of Anzackery, but also gives us a new collection of fascinating essays on Australian history. Complex, inclusive, balanced, disruptive and crucially evidence-based, The Honest History Book is destined to provide a much-needed talking point for teachers, journalists, general readers and, with any luck, politicians and policy makers.' Clare Wright In Australia's rush to commemorate allthings Anzac, have we lost our ability to look beyond war as the central pillarof Australia's history and identity? This item is printed on demand.
