AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This essay focuses on the way in which the films Gallipoli (1981) and The Wizard of Oz (1939) are deployed in the novel, Behind the Moon (2005). Morris suggests that such a reading points to the 'collision between discourses of masculinity, mateship, nationhood and race' thereby providing a 'timely intervention in the debate about national identity'.
