AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'As Sue Taffe notes at the outset of this book, Mary Montgomerie Bennett has been the focus of more than thirty scholarly books or articles, yet she remains something of an enigma. The adoring daughter of a pastoralist who dispossessed Aboriginal people in north Queensland, Bennett became a passionate and tireless advocate for the rights of Aboriginal people relatively late in life. From a historical perspective, Bennett stands out among white humanitarians of the period for her rejection of paternalism, her explicit denunciation of Aboriginal child removal and the policies that encouraged it, and her willingness to support Aboriginal political organisations.'   (Publication summary)

    'It is with great pleasure, and a little trepidation, that we take on the role of editors of this iconic history journal. We have a simple goal: to continue publishing Australia's best historical scholarship, placing field-changing work of the most established historians alongside exciting new work from rising scholars. We read Australia broadly and are interested in its international and imperial contexts, its regional interactions and comparands. We are particularly interested in clusters of essays on tightly connected themes, discussing new approaches, new subjects and varying methodologies.' (New Migrant Histories : introduction)
