By Monica Dux, Zora Simic. 2008
Feminism has been a bad, bad girl. All around us, feminism is getting the blame for women not having babies.…
For the stress of working mothers. And for the rise of 'raunchy culture'. It seems that the final feminist destination is a sordid, selfish mess. What happened? Why has feminism gone from being a movement that was there to help women, to one that is held responsible for much of what ails them? And what does feminism really stand for? Monica Dux and Zora Simic - who do call themselves feminists - examine the popular debates in which feminism stands accused. They show how this Great Feminist Denial is suppressing genuine debate about the problems that women face, and preventing real feminism from providing the solutions that it still has to offer.It's not my fault they print them

The food is here in all its steaming glory - but listen more closely to the dinner-table chatter and you might be surprised by what you hear.

Tony Ayres blows a kiss to a skinhead and lives to tell the tale. Benjamin Law has a close encounter with some angry Australian fauna, and Kylie Kwong makes a moving pilgrimage to her great-grandfather’s Chinese village. Here are well-known authors and exciting new voices, spanning several generations and drawn from all over Australia. In sharing their stories, they show us what it is really like to grow up Asian, and Australian. Contributors include: Shaun Tan, Jason Yat-Sen Li, John So, Annette Shun Wah, Quan Yeomans, Jenny Kee, Anh Do, Khoa Do, Caroline Tran and many more.Asylum: voices behind the razor wire
By Heather Tyler. 2003
This book documents the impact that Australia's policy of mandatory detention of asylum-seekers is having on the physical and emotional…
well-being of men, women and children, and explores the role the media has played. Asylum gives voice to the real people behind the sensationalism, with first-hand accounts from asylum-seekers themselves. What happened to them in their own countries that made them feel they had to leave, their dangerous journeys to get to Australia, and the treatment they have received in detention centres. They stitch up their lips, go on hunger strikes, burn Australian buildings on Australian soil. Who are these desperate people and what enrages them so much?The ethical state?: social liberalism in Australia
By Marian Sawer. 2003
The ethical state--a state committed to the common good and equal opportunity--was a central tenet of the social-liberal theory that…
emerged in Britain in the late nineteenth century. The new nation of Australia enthusiastically embraced the ideal. Translated as the 'fair go', and accepted by major policy makers on both the left and right of politics, social liberalism gave rise to the distinctively Australian institution of wage arbitration, and to other aspects of the welfare state such as public education, parks and pensions. For early Australian feminists it offered the alluring prospect of equality with men. A century later, the idea of the fair go may still resonate in political rhetoric, but liberalism has become a somewhat tarnished ideal. The dream of the ethical state lies in tatters, eroded by economic rationalism and user-pays ideology, and degraded by political machination. Has the social-liberal vision of the state as a vehicle for social justice completely run its course?Dear Mr. Rudd: ideas for a better Australia
By Robert Manne. 2008

the opportunities. What kind of future can we imagine for Australia?

Each essay serves up in a readable and inspiring way a set of new ideas to consider. This is not an academic contribution or a set of policy statements. Rather, at this time of national renewal, it is an invitation to debate and discussion issued by many passionate and imaginative Australians.The Australians: insiders & outsiders on the national character since 1770

By Eleanor Hogan. 2012
Alice Springs, Alice, The Alice, Mparntwe is the most talked about but least familiar place in Australia. It is a…
town of extremes and contradictions: searingly hot and bitterly cold, thousands of miles from anywhere, the heart of black Australia and the headquarters of the controversial NT Intervention. It's seen as a place where blokes are blokes, yet the town has a high lesbian population. It is the gateway to the red centre, but relatively few Australians have been there. Its striking landscape and modern facilities attract those looking for a desert change, yet it is a town where frontier conflicts still hold sway. Eleanor Hogan's Alice Springs reveals the texture of everyday life in this town through the passage of the local seasons.Easter Island: the mystery solved
