AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'‘I left Tennant Creek in 1955, aged thirteen. I had never been back and never wanted to go back. In fact, I’d wanted not to go back.’ (15)

'But 50 years later, he did go back. Dean Ashenden begins with tourist signs and their silences, on his way to Warumungu Country where he lived as child. As Ashenden moves northwards, he takes us on a tour of great billboards erected in prominent places of small towns, paying homage to ‘explorers’ and ‘pioneers’. Where were the Aboriginal people?'  (Introduction)

    'This is the final issue from the editorial team at Australian Catholic University. Following certain unexpected events, we asked the AHA to make the editorial change-over occur at mid-year instead of at the end of the year, and we think this will also suit teams going forward. We are absolutely delighted to welcome in our multi-based successors, Alecia Simmonds from University of Technology, Sydney, Yves Rees from La Trobe University, and Laura Rademaker from The Australian National University. We know that this diverse and experienced group will continue all that we love about this journal but add innovations and fresh twists as they progress. We are pleased to hand them a healthy pipeline of brilliant new historical scholarship, including at least two special issues.'  (Publication summary)
