Bigger than Gallipoli : war, history and memory in Australia Liz Reed Published by University of Western Australia (2004) |
Book description
Bigger than Gallipoli is about how Australia 'remembers' the Second
World War, focusing on the year–long commemorative program Australia Remembers
which took place throughout Australia during 1995. Historian Liz Reed analyses how the commemoration of
the 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 how
Australia as a nation seeks to reconstruct its identity.
