'Jack Bowers examines the role of national narratives in creating con-text for gender relations and social attitudes. He analyzes memoirs writ-ten by three Australian men raised by fathers whose lives were framed by a masculinist discourse of mateship in war and struggles against adversity. He demonstrates how a national identity which is fundamentally misogynist, violent, and controlling, has sent ripples of trauma across generations.'
