AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'How do we come to know the past? That is the key question of this fascinating, moving, and troubling examination of historical consciousness in contemporary Australia. Memory, Place and Aboriginal-Settler History considers the ways in which settler descendants come to understand the past. It does so by looking closely at a particular people and place: non-Indigenous Australians with ‘generational connections’ to the Wirrabara and North-East Highland districts in mid-north South Australia (4). Krichauff is herself part of this group she terms settler descendants, and her own stories, observations, and research journeys are interwoven with those of her interviewees. Together they offer an evocative account of the presence of the past in place in the twenty-first century.'  (Introduction)

    'This May 2018 issue of Australian Historical Studies brings together varied but fresh approaches to the study of Australia's past, including from early career scholars. It also features the winning entry in the Ken Inglis Postgraduate Prize, which is for the strongest paper presented by a graduate student at the annual Australian Historical Association Conference and then submitted to AHS for review. The prize, named in honour of the late Ken Inglis who passed away in December 2017, attracted entries from an enthusiastic cohort of doctoral students, and judges Penny Edmonds and Kate Fullagar had a challenging task due to the high quality of the field. We congratulate the 2017 winner of the Ken Inglis Postgraduate Prize, Rowan Light.'  (Introduction)
