Funded Activity Summary

Recovered Lives as Windows on the Anglo Colonial World, 1750-1850. In the face of rancorous public debate about our past, there is an urgent need for dispassionate scholarship to provide a complex interpretation of Australia's early history. By considering the settlement of Australia as a process within an interconnected global empire, rather than an isolated event, the project will increase the understanding of our beginnings and inject Australian concerns into the burgeoning international scholarship on the Anglo colonial world. By complicating our understanding of race in colonial Australia, the project will challenge the prevailing historical view that Australia has always been a racially-based white society, driven by racially determined policies.
