Solidarity and Dilemmas: Tranby, Indenture and the Nuclear-Free and Independent Pacific Campaigns, 1980s
The 1983 call by the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific (NFIP) campaign to end imperialism built strong alliances between disempowered Indigenous peoples and descendants of the unfree, indentured labourers who had been moved between colonies. The colonies and new nations of the Pacific, including Australia, had been left with populations that included both Indigenous and non-Indigenous (formerly indentured) people, all damaged in different ways…

Foundations by Karin Speedy
Reviewed by: Foundations by Karin Speedy Heather Goodall Foundations. By Karin Speedy. Lower Hutt: Karin Speedy, 2022. This is an engaging and evocative work of creative non-fiction. Karin Speedy has cryptically described it in her cover notes as a “memoir/literary nonfiction novel.” The book depicts episodes of her life—at different ages—and intersperses them with her analyses of the situations she was researching. This is certainly memoir, but …
'Proper Deadly': Student memories of adult education under Indigenous control: Tranby, 1980-2000
The voices of students about the early days of Indigenous-controlled adult education providers are hard to find. In historical research for Tranby National Indigenous Education and Training and the University of Technology Sydney 24 former participants of Tranby courses from 1980 to 2000 gave in-depth interviews, which were analysed alongside Tranby’s archival holdings for the first two decades under Indigenous CEOs and Board Chair. Tranby drew s…
Memories of Entanglement: Conflicts Around Sexuality at the Sydney Women's Commission 1973
The Women's Commission held in Sydney in March 1973, was organised by Women's Liberation as a 'speak out', allowing the theories and practices of the new wave women's movement to be shared and contested. This paper investigates tensions around lesbianism and feminism by considering both archival evidence from 1973 of the Commission's 'Women as Sex Objects' session and oral histories undertaken in 2003 with five participants, each at some stage id…
Barriers to and enablers of sustainable practices: Insights from ethnic minority migrants
Migration from the Global South to Global North is a major feature of contemporary population movements, and provides a lived experiment of the implications of moving from less resource-intensive modes of living towards more resource-intensive ones. Pre-migration practices come together in complex ways post-migration with established norms and infrastructures in destination countries. Here we examine the barriers to and enablers of sustainable pr…
Georges River Blues: Swamps, Mangroves and Resident Action, 1945–1980
The lower Georges River, on Dharawal and Dharug lands, was a place of fishing grounds, swimming holes and picnics in the early twentieth century. But this all changed after World War II, when rapidly expanding industry and increasing population fell heaviest on this river, polluting its waters and destroying its bush
People of the River: Lost Worlds of Early Australia
This beautifully written book is a pleasure to read, but there is an even more important reason to read it. This book brings into view stories of lives that were not just forgotten but have been de
Talking to water: Memory, gender and environment for Hazara refugees in Australia
This article explores the life histories of 12 Hazara women in south-eastern Australia, each of whom arrived from 2005 onwards.It traces the environmental dimensions of their experiences of home, flight and new settlement, with a sustained focus on how water played a role in their journeys.There has been little discussion to date about the gendered relationships to place and environments for refugees, nor on how the well-publicised depictions of …
Reimagining Asia: Indian and Australian women crossing borders
The decades from the 1940s to the 1960s were ones of increasing contacts between women of India and Australia. These were not built on a shared British colonial history, but on commitments to visions circulating globally of equality between races, sexes, and classes. Kapila Khandvala from Bombay and Lucy Woodcock from Sydney were two women who met during such campaigns. Interacting roughly on an equal footing, they were aware of each other's acti…

The Transnational Mission of an Indian War Correspondent: P. R. S. Mani in Southeast Asia, 1944–1946
This article, based on new archival materials, reconstructs the experiences and observations of an Indian war correspondent from 1944 to 1946 as he covered the advance of Indian soldiers of the British-led Indian Army from northeast India, through Burma to Malaya at the war's end, then to their eventual deployment with the South East Asian Command in Java after the Japanese surrender. As it transpired, Captain P. R. S. Mani worked as an enlisted …
Beyond the ‘poison of prejudice’ Indian and Australian women talk about the White Australia policy
This article opens two new inquiries into Australia-India relations. First, substantial existing analysis of the White Australia policy after the Second World War begins from Australian perspectives and sources: this article starts from the Indian side. It focuses on Indian women — on what they were reading in public media and what they said in speeches — because Indian women’s personal and political contacts with Australia increased during the C…
Contract gangs: Race, Gender and Vulnerability
While violence directed at Indian students in Australian cities has been highlighted in the Indian and Australian press, far less attention has been paid to the violence directed at Indians in rural areas. This has most often involved Indians employed in contract labour in seasonal industries like fruit or vegetable picking. This article reviews various media accounts, both urban and rural, of violence directed at Indians from 2009 to 2012. It dr…

Placemaking and transnationalism: Recent migrants and a national park in Sydney, Australia
A study of the way Arab and Vietnamese migrants engage with a national park environment in south-west Sydney, Australia, has highlighted the agency of these people as they not merely adapt to that environment but actively make places for themselves in it. The concept of placemaking is useful particularly in showing that 'place' can be constructed out of social practice, emotion and affect, and does not have to entail physical impact on or alterat…
Transforming Saltbush: Science, Mobility, and Metaphor in the Remaking of Intercolonial Worlds
The movement of exotic biota into native ecosystems are central to debates about the acclimatisation of plants in the settler colonies of the nineteenth century. For example, plants like lucerne from Europe and sudan grass from South Africa were transferred to Australia to support pastoral economies. The saltbush Atriplex spp. is an anomaly-it too, eventually, became the subject of acclimatisation within its native Australia because it was also d…
Uneasy Comrades: Tuk Subianto, Eliot V. Elliott and the Cold War
This article focuses on the friendship between two maritime workers and unionists – Tuk Subianto from Indonesia and Eliot V. Elliott from Australia – initially forged during the struggles in Australia against Dutch and British colonialism in Indonesia in 1945. Their communication into the 1960s was largely possible through their shared involvement with international networks of left-affiliated unions like the World Federation of Trade Unions. Des…

Tracing Southern Cosmopolitanisms: The intersecting networks of Islam, Trade Unions, Gender and Communism, 1945-1965
At the end of World War 2, there were high hopes across the Indian Ocean for a new world in which the relationships between working people would mean more than the borders which separated them. This paper will explore the fate of the hopes for new worlds, in the decades after 1945, by following the uneven relationships among working class Australians, Indonesians and Indians in the aftermath of an intense political struggle in Australia from 1945…
The People's National Park: Working-Class Environmental Campaigns on Sydney's Georges River, 1950-67
The prevailing narrative of official and academic environmental histories has been that campaigns to protect native bushland and establish national parks were initiated by middle-class advocates of distant wildernesses. Yet in the 1950s in south western Sydney, working-class activists on the Georges River were demanding conservation for native bushland and accessible greenspace at the same time as they identified industrial pollution as a severe …

Riding the Tide: Indigenous Knowledge, History and Water in a Changing Australia
Indigenous people's knowledge of their environments, often called Traditional Environmental Knowledge [TEK], is widely invoked today in many arenas of environmental analysis and natural resource management as a potential source of beneficial approaches to sustainability. Indigenous knowledge is most often discussed in this literature and practice as if it were a static archive of data, largely unchanging since the point of colonisation and/or mod…
Too early yet or not soon enough? Reflections on sharing histories as process
The concept of ‘sharing histories’ has been a key goal of the Australian Reconciliation process. It involves a widespread popular concept of history as a collection of facts, to which previously excluded voices can be simply added‐in to make the collection more comprehensive. This article indicates differences between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous Australians’ understandings of the concepts of both ‘sharing’ and of ‘history’. It then traces the n…
Assimilation Begins in the Home: The State and Aboriginal Women's Work as Mothers in New South Wales, 1900s to 1960s
The relations between Aboriginal people and their colonisers in Australia have always been highly charged with sexual tension. The pervasive and persistent sexual stereotyping of Aboriginal men and women has been as much a part of the discourse of administrative decision-making and policy formulation as it has been of the face-ta-face engagements between Aboriginal people and their employers, the police, or the white men who have continued to 'vi…

Jumping Ship: Indians, Aborigines and Australians Across the Indian Ocean
Relationships between South Asians and Australians during the colonial period have been little investigated. Closer attention to the dramatically expanded sea trade after 1850 and the relatively uncontrolled movement of people, ideas and goods which occurred on them, despite claims of imperial regulation, suggests that significant numbers of Indians among others entered Australia outside the immigration restrictions of empire or settlers. Given t…
Enchanted Parklands
What is the religious or spiritual significance of the Australian natural environment to non-Indigenous Australians? This question is asked in relation to the parklands along the Georges River, in south-western Sydney, and some of the ethnic groups who live in the ‘social catchment’ of these parklands. The post-Reformation rationalist Christianity of Anglo-Celtic migrants led to a degree of institutional religious disengagement with nature, a dis…

Port Politics: Indian Seamen, Australian Unions and Indonesian Independence, 1945-47
In September 1945 a boycott of Dutch shipping in Australian waters was called in support of the Indonesian declaration of independence at the end of World War II. Inspired by the Atlantic Charter, a new decolonised world seemed possible. It was working people of Australia, Indonesia and India who co-operated in the boycott and attempt to win freedom not only in Indonesia but also in India. This article compares the Australian accounts of the boyc…
Writing a Life with Isabel Flick: An Exploration in Cross-cultural Collaboration
Public historians work with the explosive content of contested histories when they research collaboratively at community level, where class, cultural, and racial divides intersect. The naïve optimism of the 1970s, which held that oral history methodologies would allow a transparent and unmediated path for minority voices to be heard, has been rightly challenged. In Australia, Indigenous historians rejected the underlying racism of much Anglo-auth…

Can Environmental History Save the World
As a ‘genre of history’ in Australia environmental history is relatively new, emerging in the 1960s and 70s from encounters between history, geography and the natural sciences in the context of growing environmental concern and activism. Interdisciplinary in orientation, the field also exhibited an unusually high level of engagement with current environmental issues and organisations. In this era of national research priorities and debates about …

Fishing the Georges River: Cultural Diversity and Urban Environments
Fishing is the most popular recreation in Australia but there are many different ways in which Australians have fished. Here are just a few extracts from interviews with people who live near and use the Georges River, a large tidal river in Sydney’s suburban south-west.1 They suggest the diverse skills and knowledge on the river, but also the currents of emotion, fear and politics which swirl around everyday fishing: Mahmoud lives in Bankstown bu…
