A manda N ettelbeck . Indigenous Rights and Colonial Subjecthood
The creation of empire poses the problem of how to govern colonial possessions without appearing usurper-like to the world. This question exercised British humanitarians in the fourth decade of the nineteenth century as a genuine moral, as well as a reputational issue. What were the rights of Indigenous subjects and how were they to be brought forth within empire? This discussion began in the metropole with Saxe Bannister’s Humane Policy; or Just…
Columbanus
The last five years have seen a resurgence of scholarly interest in the life and activities of the famous sixth-/seventh-century Irish missionary, Columbanus (d. 615). That research has led to a re-evaluation of the saint’s personal impact on his contemporaries and the long-term influence of his foundations on the development of the continental Church in Gaul and Italy
Avoidable Mortality Attributable to Anthropogenic Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) in Australia
Ambient fine particulate matter 2.5 ) air pollution increases premature mortality globally. Some PM 2.5 is natural, but anthropogenic PM 2.5 is comparatively avoidable. We determined the impact of long-term exposures to the anthropogenic PM component on mortality in Australia. PM 2.5 -attributable deaths were calculated for all Australian Statistical Area 2 (SA2; n = 2310) regions. All-cause death rates from Australian mortality and population da…

Theatres of power
Eighteen years ago I first journeyed into Aboriginal history through a study of sport and racism in the context of Aboriginal participation in boxing. I interviewed over twenty Aboriginal boxers and some white managers, in three capital cities and on several reserves, and researched the sporting press from the 1930s. My research, which came to focus on the professional ring career of Aboriginal boxers who produced a highly disproportionate fiftee…
Professional Aboriginal boxers in eastern Australia 1930-1979
At first glance the money and prestige available to Aborigines through the sport of professional boxing suggest that boxing might have allowed Aborigines to escape the usual subordinate and outcast condition assigned to them by European-dominated Australian society. This paper attempts to examine the truth of this popular conception of boxing. It also seeks to retrieve the Aboriginal experience of the fight game, for of all sports, only football …

Not Strictly Business
Freak show performers are popularly portrayed as exploited individuals. This article examines the debate within the history of intellectual disability over freaks, and tests the contested positions against the evidence of freak shows in Australia, 1920 to 1950. It argues that these were not exploitative relations or simply business ones, but complex and nuanced two-way paternalistic relations. Freak performers experienced some power and a sense o…
Aboriginal Victorians
The fascinating and sometimes horrifying story of Aborigines in Victoria since white settlement. With painful stories of personal loss as well as many successes, outlines how they survived near decimation to become a vibrant community today.
There Were Vegetables Every Year Mr Green was Here’ Right Behaviour and the Struggle for Autonomy at Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve
While land was the dominant factor in Indigeneous-settler encounters in Australia, right behaviour played an important role on the Aboriginal side, which has often been underplayed by historians. This article focuses on Coranderrk reserve in Victoria around 1880 and listens to the voices of Aboriginal witnesses embedded in a parliamentary inquiry to explore right behaviour, which was expressed in complaints over rations and governance. This artic…
Windows on other worlds
This article explores the world of Sideshow Alley, which emerged from the ancient fair culture of Britain and took root in the agricultural show movement of Australia by the 1880s. There it flourished until the 1950s, when modernity and respectability caused its demise. The article also argues that Sideshow Alley was a place of power that helped to shape the identities of many Australians through the display of difference and that it also provide…

Enduring Moments of Aboriginal Dominance
In the very dangerous process of coming to terms with an invading people and their culture, Aboriginal people in Australia have used a great variety of survival strategies, most notably work: paid and unpaid. Sometimes work took the guise of performance. This chapter will examine how Aboriginal Australians have articulated with European Australians through show and sporting performances with a special emphasis on their experience of professional …
