Drawing on a wealth of primary and secondary sources, this book
explores how far imperial culture penetrated Antipodean city
institutions. It argues that far from imperial saturation, the city
'Down Under' was remarkably untouched by the Empire. Only at
certain times, such as during imperial crises, were citizens
alerted to their place as imperial citizens, but in times of peace,
operationalising a sense of this identity was far more difficult.
Through an exploration of imperial loyalty leagues, school culture,
ideas of imperial federation, youth organisations, the daily and
weekly press and popular culture of the city, the book notes that
there was an instrumental approach to Empire on the part of the
Antipodean working class. Imperial ceremonies and traditions failed
to embed themselves and by the inter-war years internationalism
more generally challenged imperial values. The roots of imperial
decline are found in the inter war years as various aspects of
British imperial culture lost their grip. Indeed, many had
struggled to implant themselves in the first place.
