This paper suggests that in discussing the formation of national identity in the decades prior to the First World War, we should move beyond the analytic binary of ‘Australian radical nationalism’ on the one hand and ‘British race patriotism’ on the other. It is suggested, furthermore, that the recent promotion of the idea of ‘British race patriotism’ as the basis of Australian national identity misses the importance of a transnational Anglo-Saxonism — theorised by historians such as E. A. Freeman — that underpinned strong identification on the part of an influential group of Australian radical liberals — women and men — with the independent New World republic of the United States. The First World War disrupted these identifications and locked Australia into a revivified British empire. Overnight ‘Teutonic cousins’ became ‘barbarous Huns’; German-Australians were demonised as ‘enemy aliens’ and thousands deported. Pre-war Anglo-Saxon identifications with Germany and the United States gave way to new incitements to imperial loyalty and White Britishness symbolised by the visit to Australia of Sir Henry Rider Haggard on behalf of the Royal Colonial Institute to promote a post-war imperial settlement scheme.This article has been peer-reviewed
