Abstract

Honouring a Nation: A History of Australia's Honours System: By Karen Fox. For this reader, the most interesting and insightful chapters were six, where Fox outlines the Whitlam government's campaign for an Australian honours system, and seven, which explores the fierce debates over the nature of the system from 1975 to 1990. Fox is more nuanced in her reading of the saga and places it in the longer context of Australia's messy use of honours to find an identity in a post-imperial world. [Extracted from the article]
