AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Over the last decade or so settler colonial studies has become a key prism through which to interpret the colonial cultures and histories of former British colonies where Indigenous people have since become a marginalised minority in their own homelands, ‘replaced’ by European settlers who sought to ‘eliminate’ them and their connections to the land. Yet, in recent years this approach has been subject to more critical evaluations, key amongst them, by some First Nations scholars. In this article I explore how Indigenous scholars advocate, interrogate, critique or challenge settler colonial studies as an emerging field of enquiry. I conclude by discussing Indigenous-authored extra-colonial histories, which bypass colonial expropriation and exploitation to focus on Indigenous worlds.'  (Publication abstract)

    'We present our third issue of Australian Historical Studies for 2019. Here we bring together a cluster of articles exploring Aboriginal history, together with exciting new work on the Rum Rebellion and, following an emerging tradition in the journal, an important contemporary exploration of the history profession. The first article, by Shino Konishi, reflects on the ramifications of Patrick Wolfe's exposition of settler colonialism on Indigenous studies. Konishi explains how recent scholarship has moved past the logic of elimination to find more nuanced, subtle and productive ways to explore Indigenous resistance. She reflects on how this shift has altered her practice as an Indigenous woman and a historian of Aboriginal–settler encounter.' (Editorial introduction)
