Description

This book scrutinises 'peace' and 'war' through Australian lenses. It uncovers a deeper understanding of these terms and reflects a desire to bring to light alternative Australian ideas of war and peacemaking. Certain stories have eclipsed others that add importantly to Australia's history. This Quaker initiative considers a plurality of voices and the 'truths' they purport. It unpacks the act of 'memorialising' to discover the marked impact we make in our efforts to hold on to meaning and to our past. What have been the effects of our responses to the maxim 'Lest we forget'?
