Part of the acclaimed New Ways in History series, this scholarly yet accessible volume presents the human face of the Great Depression through the lens of Australian society, detailing the widespread unemployment, poverty, and social dislocation that defined an entire generation. Judith Mackinolty draws on rich primary sources and rigorous academic research to construct a vivid portrait of a nation pushed to its limits, illustrating how ordinary Australians adapted, resisted, and endured through one of history's most turbulent chapters.\n\nBeyond a simple recounting of events, this work argues that the Depression was a crucible that fundamentally reshaped Australian identity, politics, and welfare policy for decades to come. Mackinolty's approach is both analytical and empathetic, weaving together economic data, personal testimony, and political narrative into a cohesive and compelling historical account. Published by Reed Education under the editorial guidance of Norman Little and Bruce Mitchell, the volume serves as both a critical academic resource and an evocative reminder of a defining national experience — leaving the reader to wonder: how much of modern Australia was forged in those desperate, defining years?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313641070811,"sku":"2026200016663-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/225548d3-0a01-4634-85da-684de662b4d1.png?v=1789524800","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016663-secondhand-the-depression-decade-in-australia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
