註釋This work assesses the social, economic, political and cultural relationship between Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The book traces the movements of the Jack - the Union Jack, which represents the symbolic tie between home and the outer reaches of the empire - from flags to Doc Martens and fashion to food packaging. While much rhetoric emerges of Australia's place in Asia and New Zealand's role in the Pacific, this book investigates the far more complex histories that encircle the region. It is not only, or even primarily, an investigation of social systems or policy concerns. Instead, it offers a coherent cultural studies and cultural history text.
