Bøker av Peter (Australian National University Read

This book charts the relationship between Australians and places of significance. Read examines peoples' attachment to houses, workplaces, communities and countries through interviews with numerous individuals who have lost these places or found them transformed. This is a bold and moving work of scholarship.

This extraordinary book, published in 2000, explores the feelings of non-Aboriginal Australians as they articulate their sense of belonging to the land. It cleverly interweaves Read's analysis (and personal quest for belonging) with the voices of a diverse group of Australians.
