AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Bushrangers are national legends in Australia, and the names of figures like Captain Thunderbolt, Ben Hall, Jack Donohoe, and, of course, Ned Kelly, are well known to many. In her first book, Meg Foster sets out to reveal the unknown histories of the country’s ‘other’ bushrangers: those who were not the white men celebrated by the legend. Bushrangers who were female, Indigenous Australian, Chinese, or African-American, she argues, have been left out of ‘the national mythos’ (2), ignored in public culture and popular memory. Their extraordinary lives and stories are the focus of Boundary Crossers.' (Introduction)
