AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Marrngu men and women (local Aboriginal people in the Nyangumarta language) tell the story of their successful three-year strike to decolonise the Pilbara in this monumental history by Anne Scrimgeour. Oral history recordings, conducted by Scrimgeour and transcribed and translated into English by Barbara Hale and Mark Clendon, enable Marrngu to speak truth to the deeply racist, violent, colonial power systems so well documented in the historical record. Extensive research, eloquent and nuanced analysis, new arguments and captivating storytelling make this a truly great historical work.' (Introduction)

    'We are pleased to present this collection of articles for Australian Historian Studies, the third to be produced during the most extraordinary and trying of times. Our thoughts go out especially to our friends and colleagues in Melbourne, the spiritual home of Australian Historical Studies, and especially to the ever-reliable Annalisa Giudici who would never let a pandemic get in the way of a publishing deadline. While 2020 has been the unkindest of years, we offer this issue as further proof that Australian historical research continues to flourish in the hands of both our senior and emerging scholars.' (David Andrew Roberts Editorial introduction)
