Indentured Labour in the British Empire 1834–1920
First published in 1984. Indentured labour migration in the nineteenth century intersects many of the most serious issues of our own time - racism, Third World poverty, and the arrogance of a great world powers. Indenture suggests lack of freedom and the exploitation of people formed into exile or misadventure. Coming as it did after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1834, in many respects it can be regarded as a replacement of th…
Celebrity, nation, and the New Australian woman: Tania verstak, miss Australia 1961
This article examines two women who signified the 'ideal' feminine for Australians and represented the Australian nation on the global stage: Beryl Mills, the first Miss Australia, crowned in 1926, and Tania Verstak, Miss Australia 1961. Both women gained celebrity through their role as Miss Australia, but Tania Verstak is of particular significance as the first 'new Australian' woman to win the coveted title. The strategy of viewing the two wome…
The stranger in our gates’: Internment policies in the United Kingdom and Australia during the two world wars, 1914–39
Total war in the twentieth century witnessed the unprecedented expansion of executive powers in liberal democratic societies. In Australia and the United Kingdom the primacy of common law and parliamentary responsibility was severely challenged and modified. Nowhere were these radical processes so readily identified than in the area of policy towards enemy aliens. Traditionally a liberal haven for refugees, England began modifying its policies wi…

The question of the day’: The maintenance of racial rhetoric in Queensland, Australia: William Lane and Pauline Hanson as racial ideologues
Since the late nineteenth century Australian racial ideologues have identified retrogressive immigration policies and practices with the national interest. They have consistently argued that ethnic and racial diversity will led to rapid decay and national fragmentation. In the vast north‐east state of Queensland, the most racially diverse area of Australia historically, the arguments have been most persuasively articulated. Queensland has produce…

Visibility problems: Concepts of gender in Australian historical discourse∗
Feminist historiography of the 1970s challenged dominant paradigms by attempting to integrate ‘women’ into historical narratives. Gender relations studies have taken this re‐evaluation further by problematising categories of ‘men’ and ‘women’. Yet these endeavours have been fraught with conceptual and methodological difficulties as the range, complexity and interpenetration of categories of race, ethnicity, sexuality, religion and region have bee…

The Reception of Black American Servicemen in Australia During World War Ii: The Resilience of "White Australia"
The deployment of Black American service personnel in Australia from December 1941 challenged the basic precepts on which Commonwealth legislative and administrative policies were constructed. Commitment to racial homogeneity had, since 1901, demonstrated that bipartisan agreement and cooperation, at the political level, was possible over such a cardinal policy and practice. Certainly, no other issue in Australian politics and society could surmo…

Inequalities of Sacrifice: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Labour in Northern Australia during the Second World War
Engagement in total war posed hitherto unasked questions about how to contain or deploy Australians previously 'outside' the nation. World War II witnessed an extraordinary intervention of the government into the economy and labour force that was unprecedented since the colonial autocracy operated the convict system. In order to mobilise the nation for total war after December 1941 no aspect of public life in Australia was untouched by regulation…
The dark shadow of white Australia: Racial anxieties in Australia in World War II
Although World War II was perceived as a race war, historical attention has almost exclusively been focused upon the Axis powers' racial conceptualizations. Little scholarly research has been directed towards investigating the Allies' internal racial attitudes and policies. Building upon long-standing formulations that emerged from the process of colonial conquest, the rhetoric of racism in Australia was recast and expanded in order to address th…

Troublesome servants’: The strategies of resistance employed by Melanesian indentured labourers on plantations in colonial Queensland∗
IN 1884 SAMUEL GRIFFITH, QUEENSLAND'S COLONIAL SECRETARY, CLAIMED THAT 'it is recognised in practice that inferior and weaker races . . . require, in many cases, special legislation for their protection'.1 More specifically, he was concerned that the many thousands of Melanesians brought to labour in the colony should be legally protected from abuse and ill-usage. In all major sugar-producing areas, Inspectors of Pacific Islanders had been offici…

Masters and Servants
On 4 June 1911, the sugar workers of the Lower Burdekin district declared themselves to be 'on strike', thereby precipitating the first major, prolonged and acrimonious industrial dispute that the Queensland sugar industry had experienced. By the end of the month, the conflict, involving both field and mill labourers, had extended into all the significant cane producing areas of the state?Mossman, Cairns, Innisfail, Ingham, Ayr, Mackay, Sarina, B…
