More fashionable than political, social or economic history, cultural history has become the predominant kind of history produced in Australia today. This book celebrates the diversity of cultural history but also asks hard questions about its popularity and assesses the ways in which it is practiced. Leading Australian historians reflect on the theoretical assumptions from which cultural history draws, and its strategies and methodologies. As well as considering cultural history as an approach to history, they consider it as a source of subjects for historical examination.

Designed for students, this unique book unites historiography, theory, international trends, and new case studies on diverse subjects.
