Description
‘Inside Australian Culture: Legacies of Enlightenment Values’ offers a critical intervention into the effects of colonialism in Australia, which continue to inform and dominate its public culture and institutions. Through an analysis of three significant moments in Australian history, the authors investigate how the public sphere continues to derive its values from the British Enlightenment.
