The British World and an Australian National Identity: Anglo-Australian Cricket, 1860-1901 (1st ed. 2018 edition.)

The author highlights the dynamics of Anglo-Australian cricketing relations within the 'British World' in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He examines what these interactions can tell us about broader Anglo-Australian relations during this period and, in particular, the evolution of an Australian national identity.

Sport was, and is, a key aspect of Australian culture.

Jared van Duinen demonstrates how sport was used to rehearse an identity that would then emerge in broader cultural and political terms.

Using cricket as a case study, this work contributes to the ongoing historiographical debate about the nature and evolution of an Australian national identity.
