Short description:
This 1997 book tells the story of the politics of the street, and draws out many resonances between the 1890s and the 1990s.
MoreLong description:
The 1890s were a watershed in Australian history, a time of mass unemployment, industrial confrontation and sweeping social change. They also nurtured a flourishing radical culture: anarchists, socialists, single taxers, feminists and republicans. This 1997 book, informed by feminist theory and cultural studies, recreates that political and social vision. Bruce Scates reappraises these radicals and the debates they entered into and the causes they espoused. He offers new insights into a broad range of topics: the creation of the Labor Party and the meaning of citizenship; the rise of 'first-wave' feminism and contested gender definitions; the vibrant literary culture; the Utopian vision of the radicals and the communities they established; and the harsh realities of poverty and unemployment. The book tells the story of the politics of the street, and draws out many of the striking resonances between the 1890s and the 1990s.
' ... a valuable contribution to an emerging body of historiography that re-appraises some of the heroic elements of an emergent Australian identity ... A New Australia also has much to say about the present, which is suely one of the marks of truly significant historical scholarship.' Andrew Messner, Journal of Australian Colonial History
