ABSTRACT

This article extends the transnational history of Anzac by shifting the focus from Britain to the United States. It tells a history of Anzac in the United States, focused on New York and California, that shows how both Anzac Day and the broader language and iconography of “Anzac” has been core to the production of Australian community and identity in the United States from the 1920s until the 2020s. Over multiple generations, stateside Australians have reached to Anzac to enact their Australianness and build ties with fellow expatriates. As a result, Anzac has come to serve as a metonym for Australians and Australianness within the United States. At the same time, Anzac in the United States has indexed Australia’s shift from British to American empires. Once a British affair, it is now an annual event to renew the transpacific alliance.

摘要

本文通过将焦点从英国转移到美国来扩展澳新军团的跨国历史。它讲述了澳新军团在美国的历史，重点关注纽约和加利福尼亚州，展示了澳新军团日以及“澳新军团”更广泛的语言和图像如何成为澳大利亚社区和美国身份认同产生的核心。 1920 年代至 2020 年代。经过几代人的努力，美国本土的澳大利亚人已经来到了澳新军团，展现他们的澳大利亚特色，并与海外同胞建立联系。因此，澳新军团 (Anzac) 已成为美国境内澳大利亚人和澳大利亚性的转喻。与此同时，美国的澳新军团也将澳大利亚从英帝国向美帝国的转变指数化。它曾经是英国的事务，现在已成为更新跨太平洋联盟的年度活动。
