Frontier conflict : the Australian experience Edited by Bain Attwood and S. G. Foster Published by National Museum of Australia (2003) |
Book description
While many books have been written about Australia's
contribution to overseas wars, relatively little has been said about
armed conflict within Australia. Yet Australia in the nineteenth
and early twentieth centuries was often the scene of conflict, as
Europeans seized the land and its resources, and its original owners
fought back. The extent of the conflict and the degree of violence
are matters of much controversy.
This book, based on a forum held at the National Museum of Australia,
presents a series of essays by leading contributors to the debate.
From different historical and political perspectives, they address
several key questions: What happened? How do we know? How do
we remember? How do we tell? Their answers, taken together,
comprise a major contribution to the study of cross-cultural relations
in Australia's past and valuable background for anyone who wishes to
understand relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians
today.
