AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is both fascinating and revealing to read these two books together. Sendziuk and Foster's volume, a narrative history of South Australia (SA), is the first for some decades, and tells the state's story in a traditional format. The second is a book of essays, in which a diverse bunch of historians and a historical novelist with some new material challenge several of the South Australian foundational beliefs (‘fictions’). Read together they offer new perspectives on the old question about South Australian history: how different was South Australia? They also offer interesting synergies as Sendziuk, for example, is the author/editor of both volumes and he and Foster clearly take into account, where possible, the contrary arguments of the essay writers.' (Introduction)

    '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)
