National Identity and Consciousness: Commentary and Documents confronts this enduring question head-on, presenting a carefully curated collection of primary sources and scholarly commentary that traces the formation of a distinctly Australian national character. Part of the Topics in Australian History series, the work chronicles the cultural, political, and social forces that have shaped the Australian sense of self — from colonial origins through to the modern era — weaving together documents and analysis to construct a rich, layered portrait of a nation defining itself.\n\nD M Gibb brings a measured, academic rigour to the subject, allowing the primary documents to speak with authority while contextualising them within broader historical narratives. The result is an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, illuminating how national consciousness is not born but constructed — through myth, policy, conflict, and shared experience. For anyone seeking to understand the intellectual and cultural foundations of Australian identity, this volume poses a question that lingers long after the final page: is the story of a nation ever truly finished?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313641103579,"sku":"2026200016662-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/171499ce-4328-4486-b435-67557615a4f8.png?v=1789524802","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016662-secondhand-national-identity-and-consciousness-commentary-and-documents","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
