Providing a comprehensive picture of the entire reading curriculum in Victorian government schools over a period of almost two decades, the author demonstrates that, contrary to received wisdom, the Department of Education made every effort to integrate children of different backgrounds. Using three dimensions frequently cited in national identity theory landscape, history, and mythology readers are shown how material was chosen specifically to engage young white settler children and to help them overcome their sense of Australia as the 'other'. National Identity and Education in Early Twentieth Century Australia not only brings about a clearer understanding of how Australia came to be 'Australian' in character, it establishes how curriculum content may be brought into the service of nation-building across the globe. 517 3 $aNational identity and education in early 20th century Australia 606 $aEducation and state$zAustralia 606 $aEducation$zAustralia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNational characteristics, Australian 606 $aNationalism$zAustralia 606 $aEducation$xHistory$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory of education$2bicssc 615 0$aEducation and state 615 0$aEducation$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, Australian. 615 0$aNationalism 615 7$aEducation$xHistory. 615 7$aHistory of education. 676 $a379.9409046 700 $aKeane$b Jan$01618380 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827194003321 996 $aNational identity and education in early twentieth century Australia$93950044 997 $aUNINA
