Reading and Writing History from Bruni to Windschuttle
Featuring work by researchers in the fields of early modern studies, Italian studies, ecclesiastical history and historiography, this volume of essays adds to a rich corpus of literature on Renaissance and early modern historiography, bringing a unique approach to several of the problems currently facing the field. Essays fall into three categories: the tensions and challenges of writing history in Renaissance Italy; the importance of intellectual, philosophical and political contexts for the reading and writing of history in renaissance and early modern Europe; and the implications of genre for the reading and writing of history. By collecting essays that cut across a broad cross-section of the disciplines of history and historiography, the book is able to offer solutions, encourage discussion, and engage in ongoing debates that bear direct relevance for our understanding of the origins of modern historical practices. This approach also allows the contributors to engage with critical questions concerning the continued relevance of history for political and social life in the past and in the present.
Exterminate with Pride
Attempts to produce a synthesis of Aboriginal memory culture, ethnographic analogy and European records; Aboriginal initial reactions to whites; value judgements made by early European settlers; claims of Aboriginal hostility; establishment of Native Mounted Police; policy of deliberate extermination; James Murrells attempts towards reconciliation; increased Aboriginal reprisals; resolutions of conflict; use of Aborigines as cheap labour.
No Need to be Afraid
The story of how Italians struggled to earn the right to live and work amidst an Anglo-Saxon society. It is a story of fear: the Britishers' fear that the 'swarthy' undesirables would threaten their jobs and their way of life; the fear, as WW2 erupted, that Italians might sabotage the war effort and assist the Axis powers to take over Australia.
