Summary

Countering the tendency in contemporary scholarship to conflate republicanism with nationalism and independence from Britain, this study examines Australian republicanism in terms of the different ways Australians have imagined themselves as civic beings. A wide range of primary material is used to illuminate the different types of republicanism that have emerged in the political and social dialogues. Contained are documents pertaining to republicanism, citizenship, identity, and government that cover the early colonial years to the present day.

Author Biography

Mark McKenna is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Political Science Program at the Australian National University, Canberra. Wayne Hudson is Professor of History and Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Advanced Studies in Humanities at Griffith University.
