Making it National argues that we need to rethink the way national
identity is constructed in Australia today. Graeme Turner takes a
series of recent instances - the mythologising of Bond and the
larrikin entrepreneurs, the Spycatcher trials, Maralinga and the
Bicentenary - showing how popular images of national identity are
used to serve specific rather than national interests. 'Graeme
Turner's writing has a remarkable power to engage its readers with
all the immediacy, vividness and drama of our very best journalism,
while putting cultural theory to work in new and creative ways.' -
Meaghan Morris 'Making it National could be to the 1990s what
Richard White's Inventing Australia was to the 1980s.' - Tony
Bennett, Institute for Cultural Policy Studies, Griffith University
