Packed with unique images of Australian life and an array of primary and secondary sources, Experience of Nationhood offers a captivating look into what life was really like for ordinary Australians. A host of in-text activities and supporting online supplementary material aid in engaging students in the skills of research, analysis and use of sources, explanation and communication, comprehension and interpretation.
