Anxieties about a Porous Border
He has to take his chances’
Drawing on previously unexamined archival records, this article explores the Australian government’s attempts to deport a Cuban national who had been resettled in Australia as a refugee in 1980, in 1987 was sentenced to two years in prison on assault charges, and in 1991 was left stranded at Singapore Airport because Cuba refused to facilitate his repatriation. Before the Singaporean government enforced his return to Australia, Parliament passed …

The Admission of European Refugees from East and South Asia in 1947
A retrospective view which conceives of the past primarily as a pre-present tends to focus on the arrival in Australia of 843 displaced persons (DPs) aboard the General Heintzelman in November 1947 as a paradigmatic starting point of mass immigration, refugee resettlement and the end of monoculturalism. Here, I focus on two seemingly inconsequential episodes from 1947 — the admission of Polish refugees from India in August, and the arrival of hun…

Historians and the yearning for historical justice
The yearning for historical justice has become a defining feature of our age. The article discusses the extent and manifestations of this yearning for the redress of the wrongs of the past. It notes that, paradoxically, historians have not had a major influence on debates about historical justice. Referring to the seven other contributions to this themed issue of Rethinking History, the article suggests that historians have, however, made contrib…
When history isn't made but happens
Taking as its point of departure two civic ceremonies on 8 April 2006 in the East German town of Halberstadt, one to commemorate people who had been murdered in a local concentration camp, the other to commemorate the German civilian victims of an Allied air raid, this article discusses memories of victimhood. It is argued that Halberstadt's citizens remember history as something that happened to them. It is demonstrated that, for them, the town …
Australia, Indonesia, and West Papuan refugees, 1962-2009
In this paper we examine the Australian government's response to West Papuan asylum-seekers during the period 1962–2009. We argue that, throughout this period, the Australian government has attempted to appease the sensitivities of its powerful northern neighbour, Indonesia, as far as it can without outraging a domestic public sympathetic to West Papuans or drawing international condemnation by too obviously breaching international law. For the m…
The emergence of pottery in Africa during the tenth millennium cal BC
New excavations in ravines at Ounjougou in Mali have brought to light a lithic and ceramic assemblage that dates from before 9400 cal BC. The authors show that this first use of pottery coincides with a warm wet period in the Sahara. As in East Asia, where very early ceramics are also known, the pottery and small bifacial arrowheads were the components of a new subsistence strategy exploiting an ecology associated with abundant wild grasses. In A…
Our Own Interests Must Come First’ Australia’s Response to the Expulsion of Asians from Uganda
This article examines Australia’s response to the 1972 expulsion of Asians from Uganda. It compares the policies of the McMahon and Whitlam governments, and contrasts them with those of the Howard government. It analyses Australia’s contribution towards relieving the plight of Asians from Uganda against the background of the international response to Idi Amin’s decree.This article has been peer-reviewed
Providing a ‘home for the oppressed’? Historical perspectives on Australian responses to refugees
The current Australian Government and many refugee advocates claim that Australia’s response to refugees was traditionally generous. The paper examines this claim by analysing five cases: the Government’s response to German sailors jumping ship in the late 1930s; the admission of displaced persons in the late 1940s; the recruitment of migrants in Trieste in the mid-1950s; the so-called Portuguese deserters case in 1961-62; and the Australian resp…
