Index.This book explores the dynamics of Anglo-Australian cricketing relations within the ‘British World’ in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It explores what these interactions can tell us about broader Anglo-Australian relations during this period and, in particular, the evolution of an Australian national identity. Sport was, and is, a key aspect of Australian culture. Jared van Duinen demonstrates how sport was used to rehearse an identity that would then emerge in broader cultural and political terms. Using cricket as a case study, this book contributes to the ongoing historiographical debate about the nature and evolution of an Australian national identity.Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,2365-998XCivilization—HistoryIslands of the Pacific—HistoryImperialismGreat Britain—HistorySocial historyCultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000Australasian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/716000Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Civilization—History.Islands of the Pacific—History.Imperialism.Great Britain—History.Social history.Cultural History.Australasian History.Imperialism and Colonialism.History of Britain and Ireland.Social History.796.358van Duinen Jaredauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1064439MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299794003321The British World and an Australian National Identity2537976UNINA
