Keneally, one of Australia's most celebrated literary voices, chronicles the historical, cultural, and political forces that have shaped the Australian character, arguing with conviction that a republic is not merely a political aspiration but a moral and cultural necessity for a truly sovereign people. He presents the case with the eloquence of a novelist and the rigour of a historian, weaving together strands of Indigenous heritage, immigrant experience, and the enduring weight of the British Crown to illustrate why the time for change has come.\n\nKeneally's style is characteristically bold and humane — he writes not as a detached commentator but as a deeply invested citizen, and his prose carries the urgency of someone who believes the stakes could not be higher. Our Republic stands as a significant contribution to Australia's republican debate, arriving at a moment when the question of national identity was being asked with unprecedented seriousness. For anyone who has ever wondered what it truly means to be Australian, this work issues a challenge that is impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49219869507803,"sku":"2026100009257-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9f20cda4-a69d-4645-a106-ace5fe6d6b0f.png?v=1788482967","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009257-secondhand-our-republic-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
