A Journey Travelled is a pivotal Australian story long overdue for the telling: how Aboriginal and European people interacted with each other following Britain's territorial invasion in 1826, as well as its ongoing presence for the next 100 years.

Produktbeschreibung
A Journey Travelled is a pivotal Australian story long overdue for the telling: how Aboriginal and European people interacted with each other following Britain's territorial invasion in 1826, as well as its ongoing presence for the next 100 years. There has been a wealth of documentary and oral history available to researchers prepared to write from a local history perspective, yet very few Australian historians have accepted this challenge. What has been lacking until quite recently is the sense among historians and the general Australian public that the history of Aboriginal-European relations - not only for the first few years of contact, but for a period of many decades - is central to the nation's story. This extraordinary situation persisted, with very few exceptions, until the intense cultural and political foment that occurred throughout the Western world during the 1960s inevitably impacted the history departments of Australian universities. For the first time, Australians were confronted by the reality of their past as the old reluctance to write about the history of Aboriginal-European relations came to an abrupt end. As a very readable history on a topic that is of relevance to all Australians, A Journey Travelled examines the topic from the vantage point of the town of Albany and the wider Great Southern region of Western Australia, bringing a unique story to life. The book contains maps and images, including early photos of Menang men and women, as well as appendices regarding seasonal cycles, land cleared for agriculture, Western Australian tribal boundaries, and more. [Subject: History, Aboriginal Studies, Australian Studies, European Studies]

Autorenporträt
Murray Arnold is an historian and former farmer. After forty-four years farming near Bruce Rock in Western Australia, during which time he also studied for his Bachelor degree, Arnold moved to Albany where he completed his PhD through the University of Western Australia. Arnold is involved with tutoring local Aboriginal High School students enrolled in the Follow the Dream program, and in 2013 spent three months in an impoverished and remote South African rural village doing similar work. He has lectured in Aboriginal History at the Albany Summer School and presented addresses on the topic to two seminars at the Albany campus of UWA, at two public meetings held at the Albany Public Library, and at the local branch of the University of the Third Age. He has presented at the Australian Historians Association conference, been interviewed several times by the local ABC and community radio stations, spoken at professional development days for local teachers and given talks to students.
