Social Sketches of Australia 1888-1975
Häftad bok. Penguin. 1 uppl. 1978. 255 sidor.
Gott skick. First edition. Numerous illustrations. Very good. Covers shelf worn with small dog ears. Signed and dedicated: (see picture!). "McQueen (1942-) was the pivotal figure in the development of the Australian New Left. ”His most iconic work, A New Britannia, gained notoriety for challenging the dominant approach to Australian history developed by the Old Left. (...) McQueen's fourth book was Social Sketches of Australia (1978), a social history of Australia since the late nineteenth century. Continuing on from early work, Social Sketches was a correction to the secondary source focus of A New Britannia, focusing instead on primary sources and the perspectives of minorities." (Wikipedia). Scarce - and with dedication rare.
