Summary

Australia Federation explores the compelling story of how six distinct colonies united to form the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. It delves into the political intricacies, passionate debates, and lasting consequences of this pivotal moment in Australian History, revealing insights into contemporary Australia's political structures and national identity. The book highlights the pre-federation colonial context, the federation movement, and the long-term impacts of nationhood, offering a comprehensive analysis of this transformative event. This book uniquely examines the federation process as a complex negotiation of identity, power, and economic interests, rather than merely a series of political events. For example, debates surrounding free trade versus protectionism and states' rights versus central government powers significantly shaped the final Constitution. Drawing from primary sources like parliamentary debates and personal letters, along with secondary scholarship, the book presents a balanced view. Structured in three parts, Australia Federation first introduces the disparate colonies, then analyzes the federation movement, and finally explores the long-term impacts of federation. This approach provides a clear and engaging account suitable for students, scholars, and general readers interested in Australian politics, world history, and the dynamics of nation-building.

    An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. 
Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is ill-equipped to respond to mounting democratic threats and may even exacerbate the worst features of American politics. Yet for as long as anyone can remember, the Constitution has occupied a quasi-mythical status in American political culture, which ties ideals of liberty and equality to assumptions about the inherent goodness of the text’s design. The Constitutional Bind explores how a flawed document came to be so glorified and how this has impacted American life. 
In a pathbreaking retelling of the American experience, Aziz Rana shows that today’s reverential constitutional culture is a distinctively twentieth-century phenomenon. Rana connects this widespread idolization to another relatively recent development: the rise of US global dominance. Ultimately, such veneration has had far-reaching consequences: despite offering a unifying language of reform, it has also unleashed an interventionist national security state abroad while undermining the possibility of deeper change at home. 
Revealing how the current constitutional order was forged over the twentieth century, The Constitutional Bind also sheds light on an array of movement activists—in Black, Indigenous, feminist, labor, and immigrant politics—who struggled to imagine different constitutional horizons. As time passed, these voices of opposition were excised from memory. Today, they offer essential insights.
