Memory, Place and Aboriginal-Settler History: Understanding Australians' Consciousness of the Colonial Past - Hardcover

by Skye Krichauff (Author)

Taking the absence of Aboriginal people in South Australian settler descendants' historical consciousness as a starting point, 'Memory, Place and Settler‒Aboriginal History' combines the methodologies and theories of historical enquiry, anthropology and memory studies to investigate the multitudinous and intertwined ways the colonial past is known, represented and understood by current generations.
