In this Very Short Introduction Kenneth Morgan provides a
wide-ranging and thematic introduction to modern Australia. He
examines the main features of its history, geography, and culture
since the beginning of the white settlement in New South Wales in
1788. Drawing attention to the distinctive features of Australian
life he places contemporary developments in a historical
perspective, highlighting the importance of Australia's indigenous
culture and making connections between Australia and the wider
word. Balancing the successful growth of Australian institutions
and democratic traditions, he considers the struggles that occurred
in the making of modern Australia. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
