Book description
Based on original research in the Australian and British government archives,
this in-depth study offers a fresh look at Australian-British relations in
the 1950s and 1960s. Arriving at a period of increased interest in the consequences
of colonialism and the relationship between Australia and Britain, especially
in light of the republic debate and Australia's recent Centenary of Federation,
celebrated in 2001, it combines two interrelated themes-that of the terminal
phase of Britain's formal empire and the aftermath of its dissolution, and
the development of Anglo-Australian relations in the same period-into a single
framework for the first time. This highly accessible text is also suitable
for general readers interested in Australian and colonial history and politics.
