This collection examines how Australia’s Constitution shapes ideas of national identity and membership. Legal scholars consider the relationship between constitutional interpretation, citizenship, federal institutions and the communities that make up the nation.
Thirteen chapters address questions including alienage, Indigenous sovereignty, constitutional preambles and proposals for citizens’ assemblies. Comparisons with Canadian constitutional experience broaden the discussion. The volume grew from a 2019 workshop and brings together new research on the connections between legal structures and changing understandings of belonging, with references and an index.
