Interrogating the Book of Negroes:explorations of slavery and freedom in the Atlantic world in the era of the American Revolution.

澳大利亚是美国的亲密政治盟友，也是美国文化的热心消费者，因此，重要的是，我们要成为美国文化和社会的贡献者，而不仅仅是美国产品的被动接受者。自1983年里斯·伊萨克获得普利策奖以来，澳大利亚人证明了他们可以站在美国知识分子生活的前沿，展示了他们对形成这个强大国家的历史进程的创新参与。由澳大利亚学者领导的一个研究建国时期自由悖论的项目将进一步提升澳大利亚学者的国际形象，从而吸引更多的海外大学生，他们是出口收入的重要来源。

Australia is a close political ally of the United States and an avid consumer of their culture, so it is important we be contributors to American culture and society, not simply passive recipients of its products. Since Rhys Issac won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983, Australians have shown they can be at the cutting edge of American intellectual life, demonstrating an innovative engagement with the historical processes that formed this powerful nation. A project led by Australian scholars to examine the paradox of liberty in the nation's founding will further enhance the international profile of Australian scholars, thus attracting more overseas university students, who represent a significant source of export income.
