The Abundant Culture

This is a re-assessment of Australian cultural life.

The collection features essays by many of Australia's leading cultural commentators on the pursuits and concerns that give meaning and significance to everyday life.

It covers a wide range of topics, including cultural heritage, gender, fashion, food, sport, the beach, new films and the Sylvania Waters phenomenon.

A portrait of the new Australia, it covers indigenous, feminist, multicultural and regional issues, along with changes to the workplace and to political maps.
