| In 1956 Bernard Smith wrote that we in Australia were migratory birds. This was to become a leading motif of his own thinking, and a significant inspiration for Peter Beilharz. Beilharz came to argue that the idea of the antipodes made sense less in its geographical than its cultural form, viewed as a relation rather than a place. Australians had one foot here and one there, whichever â thereâ this was. This way of thinking with and after Bernard Smith makes up one current of Beilharzâ s best Australian essays. |

|
'Reading this collection, we are better able to appreciate the sustained intellectual commitment, breadth of sympathy, and responsiveness to changing cultural and political priorities, that characterises Beilharz's work.' -- Graeme Davison -- The Journal of Sociology,1-3, 2017
