Book description
Bigger than Gallipoli is about how Australia 'remembers' the SecondWorld War, focusing on the year-long commemorative program Australia Rememberswhich took place throughout Australia during 1995. Historian Liz Reed analyses how the commemoration ofthe fiftieth anniversary of the war's end represented 'remembrance' visually, in text and in spectacle.Comparisons are drawn with similar events held in Canada and New Zealand.
The key themes of nostalgia, memory and commemoration are linked to explorations of howAustralia as a nation seeks to reconstruct its identity.
