The Best of Andrew Bolt
The 'stolen generations' - fact or dangerous myth? Global warming - hell or overheated hype? Few writers dare even ask such questions. Andrew Bolt is Australia's most talked-about columnist for not only asking, but for telling you the controversial truth. Agree with him or not - whether on our war on terror or the danger of the new green religion - you've heard only half the story until you've heard the must-know rest from Bolt. Here are some of his best columns, and not just on the myth-busting topics that have made him notorious among our cultural elite. He writes also on loving and dying, on our ceremonies and celebrations, and on this wonderful country and its hate-preaching critics.
Andrew Bolt, the Far Right and the First Nations
The rights of First Nations peoples are 'racist', left-wing activists are 'fascists' and immigration has become tantamount to a 'foreign invasion'. These are some of the core concepts found in the daily demagoguery of 'Australia's most read' social and political commentator, Andrew Bolt. They are routinely packaged as being underpinned by patriotism, conservative values and egalitarian principles. Yet, as this book argues, Bolt's commentary frequently resonates with the ideas and sentiments of the Far Right -- ultra-nationalism, cultural chauvinism and a reactionary hostility to progressive thought. History has taught us that only dreadful things come of these ideas. They stand against democracy, internationalism, all that is worthy in Western civilisation, and the security of Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike.
Bolt
Andrew Bolt is Australia's most prominent and controversial commentator. In this second book of columns and reflections, Bolt is again in the front lines of our most urgent political and social debates, from Islam and immigration to the green movement and the rise of the slacktivist. But he also reveals his more personal side - the experiences that have shaped his values and love for this country. For some this book is ammunition. For others it's fair warning. But for everyone it's a test of their own values - and the reasons they hold them. Bolt's columns are published nationally in News Corp newspapers, including Melbourne's Herald Sun, Sydney's Daily Telegraph and Brisbane's Courier Mail. He also runs Australia's most-read political blog and hosts two week night shows - The Bolt Report on Sky News and a national Macquarie Radio show with Steve Price.
Bolt - Still Not Sorry
"Andrew Bolt has enjoyed a hugely successful career as Australia's most prominent commentator and writer. It's because he tells it like it is; the way a great deal of many ordinary Australians also see it. Even if that means upsetting the inner-city elites who would rather the issues he wishes to highlight be debated on their terms, if at all. To celebrate his longevity as an influential columnist, Bolt: Still Not Sorry is being released. It's an updated, revised compilation of Andrew Bolt's writing from the turn of the 21st Century. It goes back ten years to when Andrew was blazing a path and telling it like it is on such topics as terrorism, immigration, the republic, indigenous Australia and so many more."--Website.
Talking to My Country
An extraordinarily powerful and personal meditation on race, culture, and identity. When Stan Grant was born in Australia in 1963, the national census classed him and his family among the country’s flora and fauna. As Aboriginal Australians, their history and culture had been suppressed for centuries. A legacy of racism stood between him and the opportunities that white Australia - the so-called Lucky County - seemed awash with. But Grant was lucky enough to find an escape route through education. Finding early inspiration in the writing of James Baldwin and fellow indigenous activists at the Australian National University, on completing his studies he went on to become one of the country'...
Tapestry of Memory
In this volume, contributors present narratives and explore the way they influence the perception of the past. While acknowledging the debate about the validity of qualitative research based on narratives, this volume aims to illuminate how truth and evidence form part of a much wider debate on the representation of history.The volume includes the work of historians but the interdisciplinary nature of the contributions shows that the validity debate also applies to the broader fields of cultural studies, sociology, and other social sciences. The distinction between memory and testimony is a crucial theme. Memory, though selective, is the basis of testimony. Testimony provides an audience wit...
Witnessing Australian Stories
This book is about how Australians have responded to stories about suffering and injustice in Australia, presented in a range of public media, including literature, history, films, and television. Those who have responded are both ordinary and prominent Australians—politicians, writers, and scholars. All have sought to come to terms with Australia's history by responding empathetically to stories of its marginalized citizens.Drawing upon international scholarship on collective memory, public history, testimony, and witnessing, this book represents a cultural history of contemporary Australia. It examines the forms of witnessing that dominated Australian public culture at the turn of the mi...
Working Together
Working Together: Linking skills and curriculum for adolescents with a Language Learning Disability is a must-read book for busy classroom teachers who sometimes see the needs of students with language and learning difficulties as just too hard to cater for. A working collaboration between secondary teacher, Chris Millgate-Smith, and speech pathologist, Mandy Brent, this book clearly illustrates how mainstream curriculum can be differentiated for the benefit of all students with a Language Learning Disability (LLD).
