Australia's national history has rarely allowed space for the
history of Aboriginal work. This void enabled the growth of
conflicting racist stereotypes of Aborigines as either lazy or
slave-drudges. Historical research tells us otherwise, with
Aborigines demonstrably efficient workers in colonial Australia.
Throughout Australia's history, they worked as domestics, pastoral
and sexual workers, and in entertainment, sports and the arts.
Aboriginal Workers surveys both the historical myths and the
realities. It explores contested white representations of
Aboriginal workers and presents an Australia-wide survey with a
chronology sweeping across the full post-contact period, especially
the less researched twentieth century. As well as providing
valuable new material, Aboriginal Workers offers fresh insights,
especially into the complex intersections of gender, race and
labour. Significantly, this collection includes the perspectives of
both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal historians and workers. This
volume has been updated with a new introduction for 2020.
