Northern Encounters: New Directions in Northern Australian History

In this wide-ranging book scholars from the Australian National University and Charles Darwin University present new approaches to the north Australian past. Authors range from postgraduate students to senior academics. Most chapters deal with the Northern Territory, but north Queensland also receives some attention. There is a diversity of themes. 'Northern Encounters' deals with questions concerning the past that many Australians in the early twenty-first century think are worthy of answers. The book's editor, David Carment, is Professor of History at Charles Darwin University.The history phoenix? : inventing a history tradition in the Northern Territory / Ann McGrath -- Seventy-five years on: revisiting the Coniston massacre / Bill Wilson and Justin O'Brien -- Recognising race and race relations in Far North Queensland: what public documents, public monuments and people say and don't say / Maxine Pitts -- Water development and pastoralism in the Northern Territory: an historical overview of bores and cattle numbers / Bev Phelts -- The myth of Aboriginal barbarity: perceptions of colonial women in Northern Australia during the 1870s / Barbara Dawson -- The historian as traveller: leaving home / Jinki Trevillian -- Ways of remembering: cross-cultural commemoration of early contact in the Northern Territory / Clayton Fredericksen -- The influence of special collections in the development of regional and cultural history and historiography: the future of special collections in the Northern Territory / Alan Davis -- AraDA: preserving the past for the future / Ruth Quinn & Ellen Bucklad -- The penitentiary as museum: recovering Indigenous cultural heritage / Sylvia Kleinert -- ContributorsJira Ticket : CDU-13 : Collection Development Manager made the decision that for the books that have this message " This book is copyright.
