Aboriginal Australians
Richard Broome (2010)
A powerful history of black and
white encounters in Australia since
colonization, this remains the only
concise survey of Aboriginal history
since 1788.
The Cambridge History of Australia
Alison Bashford and Stuart McIntyre
(Eds) (2013)
A comprehensive view of Australian
history from its pre-European origins to
the present day. Over two volumes, this
major work of reference tells the nation’s
social, political and cultural story,
incorporating the work of more than
sixty leading historians.
Dark Emu
Bruce Pascoe (updated 2018 edition)
Dark Emu puts forward a compelling
argument for a reconsideration of the
hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial
Aboriginal Australians. The evidence
insists that Aboriginal people right
across the continent were using
domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting,
irrigating and storing. Pascoe’s sources
are the records of early European
settlers and explorers.

township and its rural hinterland.

Rachel Perkins and Marcia Langton (Eds)
(2008)
Through a vast collection of images and

loss and victory in Australia’s most
transformative period of history, between
1788 and 1993.

(2016)

of a British expedition in 1788 to the last
recorded conflict in the area in 1817.
Hidden in Plain View
Paul Irish (2017)
Aboriginal people are prominent in
accounts of early colonial Sydney, yet we
seem to skip a century as they disappear
from the historical record, re-emerging
early in the twentieth century. What
happened to Sydney’s Aboriginal people
between the devastating impact of white
settlement and government intervention a
century later?
