This seminal work, Intruders In The Bush: The Australian Quest For Identity, presents a profound examination of the forces that have shaped the Australian national character. John Carroll chronicles the complex interplay between the land, its original inhabitants, and the waves of European settlement, illustrating how these elements forged a unique cultural identity. The book argues that Australia's sense of self is perpetually defined by its relationship with the vast, often challenging, natural environment and its colonial past. It details the ongoing struggle to reconcile these disparate influences, offering a compelling narrative that challenges conventional understandings of Australian nationhood. Carroll's incisive analysis uncovers the deep-seated anxieties and aspirations that continue to inform the country's evolving identity.
