The Construction of Homeland Identity in Remembering Babylon

Abstract

As a former British colony, the culture of the suzerain, Britain, has long occupied a dominant position in Australia, and this strong position of the suzerain’s culture has brought a strong sense of “cultural inferiority” to Australians. This is mainly manifested in the distrust of Australians in their own culture, and they often reveal an “endless tendency to compare”, which leads to a series of problems in the process of Australians building their homeland.
