Book Black  White and Gold

Download or read book Black White and Gold written by Hank Nelson and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-07-19 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian goldminers were among the first white men to have sustained contact with Papua New Guineans. Some Papua New Guineans welcomed them, worked for them, traded with them and learnt their skills and soon were mining on their own account. Others met them with hostility, either by direct confrontation or by stealthy ambush. Many of the indigenous people and some miners were killed. The miners were dependent on the local people for labourers, guides, producers of food and women. Some women lived willingly in the miners’ camps, a few were legally married, and some were raped. Working conditions for Papua New Guineans on the claims were mixed; some being well treated by the miners, others being poorly housed and fed, ill-treated, and subject to devastating epidemics. Conditions were rough, not only for them but for the diggers too. This book, republished in its original format, shows the differences in the experience of various Papua New Guinean communities which encountered the miners and tries to explain these differences. It is a graphic description of what happens when people from vastly different cultures meet. The author has drawn on documentary sources and interviews with the local people to produce, for the first time, a lively history.

Book Australian Travellers in the South Seas

Download or read book Australian Travellers in the South Seas written by Nicholas Halter and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a wide-ranging survey of Australian engagement with the Pacific Islands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through over 100 hitherto largely unexplored accounts of travel, the author explores how representations of the Pacific Islands in letters, diaries, reminiscences, books, newspapers and magazines contributed to popular ideas of the Pacific Islands in Australia. It offers a range of valuable insights into continuities and changes in Australian regional perspectives, showing that ordinary Australians were more closely connected to the Pacific Islands than has previously been acknowledged. Addressing the theme of travel as a historical, literary and imaginative process, this cultural history probes issues of nation and empire, race and science, commerce and tourism by focusing on significant episodes and encounters in history. This is a foundational text for future studies of Australia’s relations with the Pacific, and histories of travel generally.

An American Ideal. 'By CHARLES H. CHAPMAN, 'P11. 'D., 'President of the Uneversiiy of Oregon. H N our childhood we are near to God. The angels still visit and whisper news from the unforgotten realms we have left behind." So sings the poet of immortality. Fresh from the Creator's hand; nay, trailing after us clouds of glory from the Eternal we come into this world of filth and deformity. It does not take long for the clouds of glory to fade away; but there is a time between childhood and manhood, before God has shut away his face and the everlasting doors turning on their golden hinges have come between us and our home. when life in one great throb of strength and hope. VVe feel then that no task is too hard for us, that no prize is too high, that all things great and worthy are predestined for our use. It is in that golden prime that the youth reads in his book of one who cut his way upward in a rocky cliff, climbing ever higher while his companions stood below and watched him. There were names on the limestone, cut by hands now feeble in old age or dead and in their graves, and over them all was one name--a name once mighty to charm the soul of youth to high endeavor--it was the name of Washington. "I will climb," said the boy, setting his teeth, "above that name. and I will cut my own higher than his." He...
