<DIV>Allen & Unwin would like to announce the following new book on Australian culture and society, published this June.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>Being Australian: Narratives of national identity</STRONG> by Catrional Elder</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What does it mean to be Australian? Or for that matter, UnAustralian? This heavily politicised word has many different narratives spun around it. Catriona Elder, (University of Sydney), delves into these narratives, and the distinctive traits associated with them, to explore the genesis, history and effects of these stories on Australian society. Outlining these various identities, their role in Australian nationalism, and the various critiques of these narratives that are offered, <STRONG>Being Australian </STRONG>presents an introduction to studying Australia from social, cultural and historical view points. </DIV>
