Conflict, adaptation, transformation

This collection traces the legacy of Richard Broome's path-breaking work in Aboriginal history--presenting innovative material that assesses and transforms a broad range of important debates that have captured both scholarly and popular attention in recent years. The book brings together a range of scholars making notable contributions to histories of frontier violence and missions, Aboriginal participation in sport and education, ways of framing relationships with land, and the critical relevance of Aboriginal life history and memoir to Australian history overall. Readers will be interested in the novel arguments on Indigenous networks and mobilities, frontier violence, massacres, and the History Wars, as well as Noel Pearson and issues of paternalism in Aboriginal politics.
