Summary "Ken Inglis is an Australian historian who, for forty years, has looked with a sharp but sympathetic eye at how Australians came to be who they are. Observing Australia is a collection of his short pieces." "This collection reflects the breadth of Inglis's interests: the making and remaking of Australia nationality, war, memory and ritual; the lives of colleagues such as Manning Clark and Stephen Murray-Smith; religion, multiculturalism, and finding the right word."--BOOK JACKET
