This vivid, multi-dimensional history considers the key cultural,
social, political and economic events of Australia's history. Deftly
weaving these issues into the wider global context, Mark Peel and
Christina Twomey provide an engaging overview of the country's past,
from its first Indigenous people, to the great migrations of recent
centuries, and to those living within the more anxiously controlled
borders of the present day.
This engaging textbook is an ideal resource for undergraduate students
and postgraduate students taking modules or courses on the History of
Australia. It will also appeal to general readers who are interested in
obtaining a thorough overview of the entire history of Australia, from
the earliest times to the present, in one concise volume.
