Download or read book Violence and Colonial Dialogue written by Tracey Banivanua Mar and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2006-12-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the post-abolition period a trade in cheap and often cost-neutral labor flourished in the western Pacific. For more than forty years, it supplied tens of thousands of indentured laborers to the sugar industry of northeastern Australia. Violence and Colonial Dialogue tells the story of its impact on the people who were traded. From the beaches and shallows of the Pacific’s frontiers to the plantations and settlements of Queensland and beyond, a collective tale of the pioneers of today’s Australian South Sea Island community is told through an abundant and effective use of materials that characterize the colonial record, including police registers, court records, prison censuses, administrative reports, legislative debates, and oral histories. With a thematic focus on the physical violence that was central to the experience of people who were voluntarily or involuntarily recruited, the history that emerges is a powerful tale that is at once both tragic and triumphant. Violence and Colonial Dialogue also tells a more universal story of colonization. Set mostly in the British settler-colony of Queensland during the last forty years of the nineteenth century, it explores the brutality embedded in the structures of a colonial state, while attempting to recover the stories that such processes obscured.

Download or read book Literary Journalism in Colonial Australia written by Willa McDonald and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the beginnings of literary (narrative) journalism in Australia. It contributes to evolving international definitions of the form, while providing a glimpse into Australia’s early press history and development as a nation. The book comprises two parts. The first examines the forerunners of literary journalism before and during the establishment of a free press, including the letters, diaries and journals of the early colonists, as well as sketches published in the first magazines and newspapers. The book asks if these were “reporting” when there was no thriving press until well into the 19th century -- many were written by women and convicts whose voices otherwise went unheard. The second part examines the first expressions of literary journalism in forms more recognisable today, covering topics as varied as homelessness in Melbourne, the Queensland trade in Pacific Islander labour, and Australia’s involvement in overseas wars, particularly the Boer War. The resulting cultural history reveals important milestones in the development of Australia’s press and literature, while demonstrating the concerns unveiled in colonial literary journalism still resonate in Australia in the 21st century.

Download or read book Settlers War and Empire in the Press written by Sam Hutchinson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how public commentary framed Australian involvement in the Waikato War (1863-64), the Sudan crisis (1885), and the South African War (1899-1902), a succession of conflicts that reverberated around the British Empire and which the newspaper press reported at length. It reconstructs the ways these conflicts were understood and reflected in the colonial and British press, and how commentators responded to the shifting circumstances that shaped the mood of their coverage. Studying each conflict in turn, the book explores the expressions of feeling that arose within and between the Australian colonies and Britain. It argues that settler and imperial narratives required constant defending and maintaining. This process led to tensions between Britain and the colonies, and also to vivid displays of mutual affection. The book examines how war narratives merged with ideas of territorial ownership and productivity, racial anxieties, self-governance, and foundational violence. In doing so it draws out the rationales and emotions that both fortified and unsettled settler societies.

Download or read book Another Day in the Colony written by Chelsea Watego and published by Univ. of Queensland Press. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-breaking work – and a call to arms – that exposes the ongoing colonial violence experienced by First Nations people. In this collection of deeply insightful and powerful essays, Chelsea Watego examines the ongoing and daily racism faced by First Nations peoples in so-called Australia. Rather than offer yet another account of 'the Aboriginal problem', she theorises a strategy for living in a society that has only ever imagined Indigenous peoples as destined to die out. Drawing on her own experiences and observations of the operations of the colony, she exposes the lies that settlers tell about Indigenous people. In refusing such stories, Chelsea narrates her own: fierce, personal, sometimes funny, sometimes anguished. She speaks not of fighting back but of standing her ground against colonialism in academia, in court and in the media. It's a stance that takes its toll on relationships, career prospects and even the body. Yet when told to have hope, Watego's response rings clear: Fuck hope. Be sovereign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Queen of the Colonies, or Queensland as I Knew It: An Eight Years' Resident Perhaps in placing a new work before the public treating of one of the most valuable of the British colonies, it may be thought that no apology is needed. It is true there have been at various times books of more or less pretension published descriptive of the vast colony of Queensland. Of these the most comprehensive is the work of Dr. Lang. But the author wrote just when the colony was formed, and when, judging from the description given by him, the greater part of it was terra incognita, which considerably lessens the value of his work to intending emigrants especially. Another clergyman, the Rev. G. Wight, published a less pretentious volume than that of Dr. Lang, soon after the former appeared. But this too was evidently written when the author had a very superficial knowledge of the subject on which he wrote, and before he had gathered the extensive experience of which he can now boast.
