Elizabeth Kwan

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Ambiguity has marked the use of national flags in Australia since Federation. The gaps in the documented history of the transition from Union Jack to Australian national flag has left Australians dependent on the views of groups arguing for and against flag change. Flag and Nation explains Australians' changing relationship to their national flags since 1901 and the perceptions of national identity they represent.
