Riguardo questo articolo

Paperback. Remaking the Tasman World explores New Zealand's most important and extensive relationship - with Australia - on a variety of levels over the past century. The authors present a combined narrative about a 'Tasman world', a working region defined by a history of traffic in ideas, policies, objects and people. This wide-ranging, fresh analysis focuses on myriad 'communities of interest' that have spanned the Tasman Sea for over a hundred years, yet have largely been ignored by national histories. The concept of Australasia - the British world south of Asia - may have become old hat, but a Tasman world still operated, and in an increasing rush from the 1960s. From early maps of Australasia to accounts of shared state experiments, of a trans-Tasman business world, sport and Anzac bonds, the authors unearth a common past and reorder it in a history infused with wit and insight. They also look forward, envisioning a fresh start for a trans-Tasman community facing the 21st century. Explores New Zealand's most important and extensive relationship - with Australia - on a variety of levels over the past century. The authors present a combined narrative about a 'Tasman world', a working region defined by a history of traffic in ideas, policies, objects and people.

Riassunto

Exploring New Zealand’s most important and extensive relationship—with Australia—on a variety of levels, this wide-ranging, fresh analysis focuses on trans-Tasman communities largely ignored by national histories. The narrative concentrates on 20th-century relations in a working region defined by a history of traffic in ideas, policies, objects, and people between the two countries. From early maps of Australasia to accounts of a shared business world and sports bonds, a common past is unearthed and reordered in a history filled with wit and insight.
