The text offers an insight into the cultural aspects of modern Australian
society that contributed to its globally acclaimed handling of the current
coronavirus pandemic. During the preparation for dealing with the pandemic,
Muller’s research was validated as the world witnessed the Australian
culture undergoing major change, shifting away from the original colonialist
culture based on individuality and social stratification, to a community
collective-based culture. It will be a valuable read for scholars in the area of
community and allied health, humanities, social policy, social sciences and
political studies. People seeking alternative lifestyles, a decolonised future
and social change will also find this book useful.
