The great Labor schism : a retrospective Edited by Brian Costar, Peter Love and Paul Strangio Published by Scribe (2005) |
Book description
Fifty years ago, the Australian Labor Party suffered a devastating split
which shaped Australian politics for a generation. This anthology provides an
array of perspectives on this divisive moment from key personalities such as H.
V. “Doc” Evatt, Frank Hardy, Archbishop Daniel Mannix, and B. A. Santamaria.
Examining the influence of the Catholic church in the split, the media reporting
at the time, and the states’ various responses, these essays identify the tenor
of the times as well as the long-term consequences of the schism.
