Description:
Sydney, Pluto Press, 1998 [1st edition]; 135 x 215 mm, 244 pp. Soft Cover, light age toning, small bump to top of spine, otherwise like new. From the cover: Race Daze argues that the post-Whitlam Australian national identity remains hung up on our Anglo-Celtic past and takes the reader on an entertaining cruise through our films to prove his point. From Barry McKenzie to Crocodile Dundee to The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Race Daze shows that Australian films and television have lagged far behind our polyglot cultural reality, recycling a white Australia that no longer exists. Race Daze examines fundamental issues of Australian cultural life in the 1990s and with good humour critiques the orthodoxies of both the left and the right. Stratton tackles head-on the debates about race, culture and identity that have become national obsessions throughout the West.
