Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white text-photos, few drawings, graphs, spine ends little rubbed, white background covers little marked, top corner tip front cover little creased, minor edgewear. 360 pp. John Hirst, a leading Australian historian at Latrobe University, describes how Australians have created a unique form of democracy.

Also examines such democratic oddities as compulsory voting, the lack of universal welfare, private schools, and loyalty to the British monarch.

She discusses how xenophobia has shaped policies toward refugees, indigenous Australians, and Islamic fundamentalists, and examines the effects of being constantly warned about the risk of terrorism. She also looks at the sustained campaigns on law and order, and the exaggerated anxieties people now have of the risks of assault, murder, child abuse, and robbery.
