Sacred Places, K. S. Inglis

Published November 1994 | Pages 544 | Hardcover | English  

"Sacred Places" spans war, religion, politics, language and the visual arts. Ken Inglis has distilled new cultural understandings from a familiar landscape. After 1918, Australians embarked on a massive programme of construction of war memorials and centred around them civil ceremonies whose imagery, ritual and rhetoric constituted a religion - a cult of Anzac. This book traces the elements that gave rise to the cult, and looks at the rejection of the people who have been excluded from it.
