We have also entered the 21 st century, with the establishment of our web page at www.aboriginalhistory.org The papers which have been submitted to the journal over the past year share sev- eral broad features. In a number of them there is a concern with forms of representation of Indigenous people by self and by others. This is a theme which is to be explored fur- ther in volume 27 of the journal. Jane Lydon provides a valuable contribution to the literature of representation in her detailed study of the social construction and reception of the photographic works of Charles Walter at Coranderrk, by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. She writes an ethnography of the local dynamics and looks at its interplay with a global ‘visual economy’. Melinda Hinkson considers the presentation of the Aboriginal past in public places of contemporary Sydney. She finds evidence for an emerging shift away from previously common interpretative narratives that saw these places as ‘pure products’ 1 to more complex inter-cultural presentations of the past. Peter Read, a key participant in the Stolen Generations debates, sets out examples from his experiences as an expert historical witness in courts of law which make clear the frustrations and complexities which arise when attempting to represent past social contexts in a legal framework. Geoff Gray looks at the policies and politics of anthropological practice, focussed through the lens of Phyllis Kaberry’s experiences in the 1930s. This involves trying to understand what was allowable or desirable for anthropologists to record at that time, and why, with ‘traditional custom’ constructed in opposition to the contemporary dynamics of ‘actual life-conditions’. Laurent Dousset considers a case study of Indigenous people’s responses to the installation of the Giles meteorological station in the western desert in the 1950s, and considers their choices within the incoherencies of assimilation era government policy and practice. Corrine Manning’s study of governance and policy in mid 20 th century Victoria also reviews vacillations in government policy between segregation and assimilation. Kevin Blackburn takes the changing usage of the term ‘nation’ by nineteenth cen- tury anthropologists such as RH Mathews and Howitt as a way into the history of understandings, or mis-understandings, of Indigenous social structure and sover- eignty, especially in southeastern Australia. Continuing the studies of nineteenth century Victoria, Barry Blake and Julie Reid’s paper makes accessible the word lists collected by RH Mathews and others from the language spoken by the people of northwestern Victoria, and their analysis of the lan- 1.

The signatures on the petition were mainly collected at two events that were held in Marrickville during April and May 2018. These events were the Anzac Day Reflection held on 25 April 2018 in Richardson’s Lookout – Marrickville Peace Park and the National Sorry Day Walk along the Cooks River via a number of Indigenous Interpretive Sites on 26 May 2018. The purpose of the petition is to creatively showcase the history and culture of the local Aboriginal community along the Cooks River and to publicly acknowledge the role of Pemulwuy as “father of local Aboriginal resistance”. The action petitioned for was expressed in the following terms: “We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge Inner West Council in conjunction with Council’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group (A&TSIRG) to designate the walk between the Aboriginal Interpretive Sites along the Cooks River parks in Marrickville as the Pemulwuy Trail and produce an information leaflet to explain the sites and the Aboriginal connection to the Cooks River (River of Goolay’yari).” A total of 60 signatures have been collected on the petition attached.

Identify and explain how did indigenous people impact upon their environment? Indigenous people changed the landscape using fire stick farming which also assisted hunting Aboriginal people used their knowledge of the seasons to optimise hunting, gathering, eel farming and more Aboriginal people used organic local materials to create tools to assist them with hunting and gathering their food i.e. eel traps, woven grass baskets, rock fish traps etc. They only ever took what they needed from the land and had a deep respect and spiritual connection to the land and their surroundings. 2. How are humans impacting on natural resources in today’s society? How does this affect wildlife? When the land is disrespected, damaged or destroyed, this can have real impact on the wellbeing of people, plants and animals. European settlers and modern day humans have caused land degradation by: •Introducing poor farming practices causing land degradation •Introducing noxious weeds •Changing water flow courses and draining wetlands •Introducing feral animals •Destroying habitat through urbanization, logging and farming practices 3.

    Benevolent Colonizers in Nineteenth-Century Australia Quaker Lives and Ideals Eva Bischoff Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series Series Editors Richard Drayton Department of History King’s College London London, UK Saul Dubow Magdalene College University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK The Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies series is a collection of studies on empires in world history and on the societies and cultures which emerged from colonialism. It includes both transnational, comparative and connective studies, and studies which address where particular regions or nations participate in global phenomena. While in the past the series focused on the British Empire and Commonwealth, in its current incarna- tion there is no imperial system, period of human history or part of the world which lies outside of its compass. While we particularly welcome the first monographs of young researchers, we also seek major studies by more senior scholars, and welcome collections of essays with a strong thematic focus. The series includes work on politics, economics, culture, literature, science, art, medicine, and war. Our aim is to collect the most exciting new scholarship on world history with an imperial theme.

  • The Place of Lawyers in Politics
    THE HON T F BATHURST AC CHIEF JUSTICE OF NEW SOUTH WALES THE PLACE OF LAWYERS IN POLITICS OPENING OF LAW TERM DINNER ∗ 31 JANUARY 2018 1. As a young boy learning his table manners in the 1950s, the old adage “never discuss politics in polite company” was a lesson that was not lost on me. Even for those of you who did not grow up in the era of Emily Post, I am assured the adage still holds true. 2. When I stood here to give this same address last year, I was under the naïve impression that I had given the topic a wide berth. That is, until I woke to the unwelcome image of my face splashed across the front page of the morning paper. So, eager to avoid my naivety being mistaken for political pointedness and at the risk of casting aspersions on the “polite” character of the present company, I’ve decided to throw the old rule book out the window, launch myself into the bear pit and confront the issue head on. Tonight I want to ask: to what extent should lawyers, in their professional capacity, involve themselves in political debate, criticise government policy, or advocate for particular political outcomes. 3. The particular topic was inspired, oddly enough, by an incident which occurred in discussion surrounding the same sex marriage issue. You will recall that Mr Alan Joyce, the Chief Executive Officer of Qantas came out in support of a ‘Yes’ vote at the plebiscite. It was suggested to him that he should stick to his knitting.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Mapping Aboriginal Nations: the ‘Nation’ Concept of Late Nineteenth Century Anthropologists in Australia
    Mapping Aboriginal nations: the ‘nation’ concept of late nineteenth century anthropologists in Australia Kevin Blackburn From the late 18th century to the end of the 19th century, the word ‘nation’ underwent a change in meaning from a term describing cultural entities comprised of people of common descent, to the modern definition of a nation as a sovereign people. The politi- cal scientist Liah Greenfeld called this shift in the definition of the word nation a ‘semantic transformation’, in which ‘the meaning of the original concept is gradually obscured, and the new one emerges as conventional’.1 The historian Eric Hobsbawm noted that the New English Dictionary ‘pointed out in 1908, that the old meaning of the word envisaged mainly the ethnic unit, but recent usage rather stressed “the notion of political unity and independence”’.2 The political scientist Louis Snyder observed that the ‘Latin natio, (birth, race) originally signified a social grouping based on real or imag- inary ties of blood’. However by the end of the 19th century the term ‘nation’ had come to mean an ‘active and conscious portion of the population’, who shared a ‘common political sentiment’.3 The work of historians Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger suggests that in the 19th century a nation was not only a cultural group of people of common ethnic origin, but such a group of people who in addition believed that they were a united political entity possessing or desiring sovereignty.4 The cultural anthropologist Benedict Anderson has described the idea of the nation as an ‘imagined community’. He argued that a nation ‘is imagined because the members of even the smallest nations will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives their communion’.
