شمول بی‌تفاوت: مردم بومی و ملت استرالیا

Combining the perspectives of political, social, and cultural history in a coherent narrative, this account is a holistic interpretation of the complex relationship between Indigenous and settler Australians during the middle of the 20th century. As it provides a cogent analysis of how the relationship changed, this record focuses on the quest for Aboriginal inclusion in the Australian nation—a task that dominated the Aboriginal agenda at the time—and challenges existing scholarship and assumptions, particularly around assimilation. Arguing that inclusion was not a function of political lobbying and parliamentary decision making, this is an insightful history of the changing nature of race relations in Australia. Russell McGregor is an associate professor of history at James Cook University in Australia. He is the author of Collisions of Cultures and Identities: Settlers and Indigenous Peoples and Imagined Destinies: Aboriginal Australians and the Doomed Race Theory, 1880–1939. McGregor offers a holistic interpretation of the complex relationship between Indigenous and settler Australians during the middle four decades of the twentieth century. Combining the perspectives of political, social and cultural history in a coherent narrative, he provides a cogent analysis of how the relationship changed, and the impediments to change. McGregor's focus is on the quest for Aboriginal inclusion in the Australia nation; a task which dominated the Aboriginal agenda at the time. McGregor challenges existing scholarship and assumptions, particularly around assimilation. In doing so he provides an understanding of why assimilation once held the approval of many reformers, including Indigenous activists. He reveals that the inclusion of Aboriginal people in the Australian nation was not a function of political lobbying and parliamentary decision making. Rather, it depended at least as much on Aboriginal people's public profile, and the way their demonstrated abilities partially wore down the apathy and indifference of settler Australians Cover......Page 1 Dedication......Page 3 Copyright......Page 5 Contents......Page 6 Illustrations......Page 8 Acknowledgments......Page 9 Preface......Page 12 Notes on Terminology......Page 15 Abbreviations and Acronyms......Page 16 Prologue The Crimson Thread of Whiteness......Page 18 Chapter 1 Preserving the National Complexion......Page 28 Chapter 2 Primitive Possibilities......Page 45 Chapter 3 Aboriginal Activists Demand Acceptance......Page 64 Chapter 4 Restricted Reconstruction......Page 82 Chapter 5 To Live as We Do......Page 103 Chapter 6 Assimilation and Integration......Page 125 Chapter 7 Enriching the Nation......Page 146 Chapter 8 Fellow Australians......Page 168 Chapter 9 After the Referendum......Page 189 Epilogue Unfinished Business......Page 210 Notes......Page 215 Select Bibliography......Page 247 Index......Page 250
