AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Every year, in the lead-up to January 26, the spill of media becomes overwhelming, with newsprint, sound bites, social media and talkback radio all debating the legitimacy of this contentious date. It is interesting to note that Stan Grant’s book is called Australia Day and not Invasion Day. As a Wiradjuri and Kamilaroi man, he might understandably lend his support to the latter in recognition of colonisation and trauma. But his book is a passionate, earnest and, it has to be said, idealistic and hopeful attempt to douse the heat of identity politics, and to find a way beyond cultural warfare.'  (Introduction)
