  Step into the ramping, roaring days when the Royal Mail was delivered by the legendary Cobb and Co. "Oh, they were good days—rough days, quart pot days, damper days, perhaps—but still, they were big, brave, generous days", as Henry Lawson so aptly put it. Days when the world was wide, and adventure beckoned at every turn. 
  Immerse yourself in an array of amusing anecdotes and unforgettable tales that embody the grit & graft of the age. Let the romance and poetic charm of those times sweep you away, breathing life into the spirit and stories of a bygone era. 
  Embark on a journey that begins with the infamous ‘snake in the trousers’ tale—a legend that never fails to stir a chuckle. Venture through the extraordinary courage of Mrs. Mary Jinks, a mother of twelve who faced every challenge with unshakable resolve, and the tragic demise of swagman Tom McBride. Traverse deep, untamed creeks and billabongs—formidable obstacles that tested even the hardiest traveller. Relive the tense ‘Bail up!’ moments experienced by Cobb and Co. coach drivers, who wisely understood the perils of facing bushrangers, during the era spanning 1854 to 1924. 
  Through countless anecdotes, these stories illuminate the true spirit of the pioneers—their hard work, resilience, and boundless grit, shaping the fabric of early Australia. Every tale offers a glimpse into an era where determination, unyielding courage, and a hearty sense of humour flourished … “What would you like—lamb, ram, sheep, or mutton?”

  Unsettling Choice - Race Rights...

  What do universal rights to public goods like education mean when codified as individual, private choices? Is the "problem" of school choice actually not about better choices for all but about the competition and exclusion that choice engenders? Unsettling Choice addresses such questions through a compelling ethnography that illuminates how one path of neoliberal restructuring in the United States emerged in tandem with, and in response to, the Civil Rights movement. 
   
   
   
  Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007–2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs. Ujju Aggarwal argues that this strategy mobilized mechanisms rooted in market logics to recruit families with economic capital on their side, solidifying a public sphere that increasingly resembled the private. 
   
   
   
  As Unsettling Choice shows, these struggles over public schools were entrapped within neoliberal regimes that exceeded privatization and ensured exclusion even as they were couched in language of equity, diversity, care, and rights. This book tracks an architecture of expansive rights, care, and belonging built among poor and working-class parents at a Head Start center, whose critique of choice helps us understand how we might struggle for justice, and a public that remains to be won.
