Description 1 online resource (26 min.) Summary Bartholomew Augustine (Bob) Santamaria - political activist, ardent anti-communist, committed anti-feminist and devout Catholic - had one of the most controversial careers of 20th century Australia. While his intelligence and leadership always inspired enormous loyalty in his followers and admirers, he was condemned by his enemies as Machiavellian, destructive, even evil. The second part looks beyond the political facade of Santamaria and seeks the personal side. What sort of father was the founder of the socially conservative National Civic Council? How did he apply his masculinist views of the family to his own life? What did this opponent of the women's liberation movement really think of women? This in-depth interview, the last recorded before his death, reveals a personal side of Santamaria rarely seen even by those close to him. He talks intimately about religion, family, society, and his view of his own place in it Notes Title from resource description page (viewed July 22, 2016) In English Subject Santamaria, B. A.
