Book description
This is volume 3 number 1 of the History Australia: journal of the Australian Historical Association.  This issue reflects in a small way the impact of the Sydney 2005 Conference of CISH, and more broadly that sense current amongst historians in Australia that we are all swimming in a global ocean.
The papers are as diverse in method as they are in time and space, including a political history of British volunteers in the Russo-Finnish War, an investigation of a case of desired transsexuality in an Italian woman in Sydney in the 1960s, a reading of the national significance vested in Italian athletes in the 1930s, and a study of style and rhetoric that ranges from Classical Greece to twentieth century Czechslovakia.  It is a fine example of the world-class work currently being written by Australian post-graduate students.
The articles include some firmly located in Australian space and time: a history of gazing, strolling and falling in love on Sydney beaches at the turn of the twentieth century; and an account of inter-racial co-operation within the meeting rooms of the Country Women's Association in rural New South Wales in the 1960s.  Others read Australian events and processes in an international context.
History Australia is also published online by Monash University ePress.
