- Summary:
-
Robert Manne describes a period in which we have lost opportunity after opportunity. Hopes for the republic and Aboriginal reconciliation are fading. The universities and the ABC are under siege. And refugees are incarcerated in prison-style camps. Manne shows how social divisions run deep and analyses the One Nation phenomenon's refusal to die.
