Funded Activity Summary
Red Dirt Dreaming: Re-Imagining the History of Mining in Australia. The resources boom, and slowdown, have once again placed mining at the centre of the Australian economy and consciousness. Mining is a milieu of profound paradox, with changing national/international contexts and competing interests. The story of mineral exploration and exploitation thus demands fresh assessments of its social, cultural and political impact in Australia. This timely history of Australian mining examines the complex interactions of people, land and governments and explores historical actors previously silenced—Aborigines, women, ethnic minorities and environmentalists—thereby providing an innovative new narrative of the multiple and diverse historical protagonists and processes created by Australia’s mighty geological windfall.Funded Activity Details
