AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Haskell discusses the 'two opposing strands of thought' evident in Australian culture - either a scorn or lament about differences from Europe and about difficulties imposed, versus a nationalistic celebration of difference and difficulty.' He also comments on the 'limited influence of organised religion' in the development of Australian cultural life.

These were presented at the First International Conference of the Indian Association for the Study of Australia (IASA). With contributions from Bruce Bennett, Jennifer Strauss, Dennis Haskell, Satendra Nandan, David Kimber, Fran Siemensma, Parimal Roy and Marianne Robinson, Y. Yagama Reddy and Quentin-Stevenson Perks amongst many others, this volume reflects a dynamic engagement of ideas, both from a literary and a socio-political perspective, in the areas of history, culture, art, trade and education. The interfaces these essays provide, the interdisciplinary ethos they promote, are a much-needed new dimension to the study of Australian culture, society and polity in India. The present collection is set to meet precisely that objective.' New Delhi : Indialog Publications , 2004 pg. 49-59
