Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 242 pages. This book is our alternative history. What sort of self-doubt leaves Australians so late in the twentieth century s wearing oaths to an institution on the other side of the world? W ith empathy for Australians of former generations, whether Monarc hist or Republican, Tom Keneally argues that earlier in this cent ury there were cogent - if deluded - reasons for Australians to r etain the Monarchy. No such reasons exist anymore, and the tide o f history has left Monarchists abandoned on their own continually eroding ground. Part personal memoir, part call to arms, Our Rep ublic covers the experience of this passionate Australian from a naively Republican childhood through the Forties to the present. It is also a memoir of the Australian soul since 1788. The unackn owledged spirit of Australia's independence was always present, i f only as a ghost, at the banquet of Australia's loyalty to the B ritish Crown. We encounter the xenophobic Republicanism of the 18 90s, the conservatism of those who opposed Federation, and the in trusion of the British government in the making of the Federal Co nstitution. Neither Britons nor Australians, argues Tom Keneally, saw Australia's Constitution as the birth certificate of a sover eign nation. An account of both a personal and national quest, Ou r Republic is a blueprint for Australia's future. Codice articolo 617e
