Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is time to reassess the work of Geoffrey Blainey, and consider his role in Australian history, politics and public life. Geoffrey Blainey has steered Australian history into the nation's conversation. No one would dispute that he is a courageous public intellectual, a writer of rare grace and a master storyteller. And he has indeed provoked a rare fuss, both public and professional, with some of his comments on Asian immigration and Aboriginal land rights. Blainey has challenged the academic history profession, not only with his ideas but also by his practice. A brilliant student, he looked set for Oxford but chose instead the austere west coast of Tasmania for his postgraduate research. For the next decade he earned a living with his pen. And instead of political history in the traditional academic mould, he wrote corporate histories that dispensed with footnotes. Always probing and speculative, Blainey has dislodged many of the keystones in our understandings of Australia's past. He was one of the first to write about the expansive social history of this land before 1788; he questioned whether Botany Bay was founded primarily as a convict colony; he argued that the Eureka uprising had economic rather than political causes; and he identified sport as a neglected key to the Australian character. His controversial views earned such newspaper headlines as 'Brave Man Set Upon by Thugs for Telling Truth'. In The Fuss That Never Ended a lively and distinguished assembly of fellow historiansandmdash;of various ages, interests and political stancesandmdash;take a fresh look at Blainey's remarkable and sometimes controversial career.

Download or read book Denial written by Tony Taylor and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey and the Armenians David Irving and the Holocaust The Japanese in Nanking Stalinist atrocities: Serb crimes against Bosnians in the Balkans Australian denial and Aborigines Denial investigates that baffling spectacle known as historical denial. Tony Taylor finds out what makes these deniers tick and delves into the pathology of deniers to prove that while each denial-provoking case may vary in character, the nature of historical denial itself remains relatively consistent. Denial analyses six fascinating case studies in denialism, starting with Turkey and the Armenian question and ending with an Australian version of denial. It shows how historical denial aims to obliterate authentic accounts of the past to distract us from genuine historical understanding. In doing so, it betrays the people who inhabited the past, the work of genuine historians and the audience of history. Associate Professor Tony Taylor teaches and researches at Monash University. Between 1999 and 2000 he was Director of the Australian Government's National Inquiry into the Teaching and Learning of History and was author of the Inquiry's report The Future of the Past. His report led to the establishment of the Commonwealth History Project (2001 to 2006). Between 2001 and 2007 he was Director of the National Centre for History Education. Book jacket.
