Making it National argues that we need to rethink the way national identity is constructed in Australia today. Graeme Turner takes a series of recent instances – the mythologising of Bond and the larrikin entrepreneurs, the Spycatcher trials, Maralinga and the Bicentenary – showing how popular images of national identity are used to serve specific rather than national interests.’Graeme Turner’s writing has a remarkable power to engage its readers with all the immediacy, vividness and drama of our very best journalism, while putting cultural theory to work in new and creative ways.’ – Meaghan Morris’Making it National could be to the 1990s what Richard White’s Inventing Australia was to the 1980s.’ – Tony Bennett, Institute for Cultural Policy Studies, Griffith University
