An excellent and extremely valuable contribution by Agnieszka Sobocinska to the ongoing process of rethinking Australian history and the role of #Asia within the whole concept of Australia framed around the 25th anniversary of David Walker's book, Anxious Nation. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I absolutely loved writing this essay. David Walker’s ‘Anxious Nation’ is the book that most profoundly shaped my thinking about Australian history. It was an honour to mark its 25 year anniversary for History Australia.
