AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The cooee was arguably the Europeans' earliest widespread cultural appropriation from indigenous Australians. This article examines the particular circumstances - in literature and music - in which the cooee call took on self-consciously nationalistic meanings, signalling the process whereby Australian identity was forged out of the relationship between Australia and Britain.
