Blackfella Historians: An Historical Study of Aboriginal History-Making in South-eastern Australia

土著人民不仅要忍受殖民，而且要理解它。这项创新的研究考察了他们对历史的部署，重点是19世纪和20世纪的澳大利亚东南部。它将探讨历史在原住民向非原住民解释他们的困境并为他们自己解释其意义的努力中的重要性。该项目将对历史在塑造土著和非土著之间关系中的作用提供重要的新见解，并将丰富我们对历史的政治和文化用途及其作为跨文化交流媒介的重要性的理解。

Aboriginal people had not only to endure colonisation, but to make sense of it. This innovative study examines their deployment of history, focusing on south-eastern Australia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It will explore the importance of history in the efforts made by Aborigines to explain their plight to non-Aborigines and to make sense of it for themselves. The project will offer major new insights into the role of history in shaping relations between Aborigines and non-Aborigines and will also enrich our understanding of history's political and cultural uses and its significance as a medium for cross-cultural communication.
