Until a generation ago, Britishness lay at the heart of Australian political culture. How and why did this fundamental idea lose its meaning for Australians and their political institutions? The popular view is that the British ideal succumbed to a triumphant, long-thwarted Australian nationalism. The reality is much more complex. Having weighed the evidence, this book argues that it was not Australia but the Mother Country that set the pace.This title argues that that the steady waning of British race patriotism in Australia did not occur because of assertive Australian cultural nationalism, rather it was a reaction to the UK's determination to carve out a new political and economic future as a member of the European Community.
