註釋Since the 1940s, Meanjin essays have set the national cultural agenda. Arthur Phillips' idea of 'cultural cringe' has become a household word, instantly conveying Australians' sense of place in the world while expressing our frustrations and our ambitions - yet very few of us know it came from an essay first published in Meanjin. Over half a century later, Chelsea Watego's 2021 'Always bet on Black (power)' roars with the fire of a manifesto; Hilary Charlesworth's 1992 'A law of one's own?' challenges Australia's legal system with a formidable feminist ethic; Tim Rowse's 1978 'Heaven and a Hills Hoist' passionately defends suburbia; David Yencken's 1988 'Creative City' sparks a global urban planning movement with artists at the centre. This anthology brings togethers twenty impactful Meanjin essays for the first time. An introduction by editor Esther Anatolitis offers critical context and scrutiny, illustrating how profoundly Meanjin essays have changed Australia.
