Changing Places: Re-Imagining Australia

Changing places: re-imagining australia examines fundamental issues of what it is to be Australian. If there are distinctive Australian senses of place, what are they and how are they constructed?

In this book two-dozen prominent scholars, poets, priests, artists and writers grapple with the tension between a European cultural and intellectual heritage and the oldest land-based culture in the world.

They examine how the environmental realities of the Australian continent are finally making themselves felt in our national consciousness and consider the relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal senses of place.
