What the book argues

Some say Australia is a racist country built on stolen land, with no real culture of its own. Others say there’s plenty to celebrate and they’re tired of being told to feel guilty.

Australia on Trial steps past that left-right slanging match and makes a balanced case in plain English. It isn’t a history book. It’s written for everyday Australians who want to think through what the past means for the challenges we face together today.
