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.
This book presents exciting innovations in the dynamic field of
Indigenous global history while also outlining ethical, political
and practical research, thereby offering the reader both an
understanding of the current state of the field and suggesting new
directions for the field into the future. The six thematic sections
have a global spread and show the resonances of Indigenous global
history for a global politics of the present and future which will
be invaluable reading for undergraduate and postgraduate Indigenous
history courses across the world. Considering climate change,
spirituality and religious movements, gender negotiations,
modernity and mobility, and the meaning of 'nation' and the
'global', it illustrates the important role of Indigenous history
and Indigenous knowledges for contemporary concerns.

When you think about the future, are you consumed by fear and
self-doubt? Do you feel stuck in your life? Does your inability to
move forward cause increased anxiety, sadness, or insecurity? It's
easy to avoid or withdraw from the situations that make you anxious
or worried-it can feel safer at the time-but the fact is, until you
find a way to confront discomfort head on and take action anyway,
you'll remain stuck in a cycle of disappointment and frustration.
So, how can you break free, get unstuck, and fully embrace life?
From the authors of Conquer Negative Thinking for Teens-which
focuses on managing negative thinking habits-comes this unique
resource for teens who struggle with taking action. Packed with
simple and easy-to-apply skills drawn from cognitive behaviour
therapy (CBT), you'll learn to cultivate an action mindset, reduce
worry, and take the steps needed to solve problems-rather than
avoid them. You'll also discover the keys to quieting that inner
"voice of doom," giving up the need for perfection, and managing
the difficult emotions that can come with living a life on hold.
With this empowering guide, you'll learn how to: - Figure out
what's holding you back in life - Move past negative thinking
habits - Cultivate a "go out and get it" mindset - Be kinder to
yourself - Take small "action steps" to move toward your goals Even
the smallest behaviour change can make a huge difference. If you're
finally ready to face your fears, the skills you'll learn in this
friendly how-to will empower you to take action and get back in the
game of life! In these increasingly challenging times, kids and
teens need mental health resources more than ever. With more than

Contested Ground provides a comprehensive and up to date account of
the processes and experiences which shaped the lives of Aboriginal
Australians from 1788 to the present. It integrates eye-witness
accounts, oral histories and historical research to present the
first colony-by-colony, state by state history of Aboriginal-white
relations. Contested Ground tells a story of dispossession and
denial but it is also a positive account, revealing the persistent
struggles of Aboriginal communities for a better future. Clearly
written and generously illustrated, this book demonstrates why
Australian Aboriginal history, like the very land itself, remains
contested ground. 'Both indigenous and non-indigenous Australians
have a lot to learn about each other before reconciliation between
the two peoples can be realised. This book will go a long way
towards achieving that end.' - Paul Behrendt.

Illicit Love is a history of love, sex, and marriage between
Indigenous peoples and settler citizens at the heart of two settler
colonial nations, the United States and Australia. Award-winning
historian Ann McGrath illuminates interracial relationships from
the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century through stories
of romance, courtship, and marriage between Indigenous peoples and
colonizers in times of nation formation. Illicit Love reveals how
marriage itself was used by disparate parties for both empowerment
and disempowerment and how it came to embody the contradictions of
imperialism. A tour de force of settler colonial history, McGrath's
study demonstrates vividly how interracial relationships between
Indigenous and colonizing peoples were more frequent and
threatening to nation-states in the Atlantic and the Pacific worlds
than historians have previously acknowledged.

You aren't what you think! For teens with negative thinking habits,
a licensed psychologist and a health journalist offers cognitive
restructuring-a simple and effective cognitive behavioral approach
to help you break free from the nine most common negative thinking
habits that typically result in feeling sad, worried, angry, and
stressed. This workbook offers a powerful technique called
cognitive restructuring to help you reframe your thoughts, regulate
your emotions, become a more flexible thinker, and stop letting
your thoughts define who you are and how you feel. You'll learn to
target the nine specific kinds of negative thinking habits that can
cause you to worry or feel bad, such as the I can't habit, the doom
and gloom habit, the all or nothing habit, the jumping to
conclusions habit, and more! Each chapter will walk you through
simple explanations of each kind of negative thought, and offers
real-life examples-as well as the sorts of behaviors, emotions, and
bodily sensations that might be expected. You'll also gain an
understanding of unhelpful or unrealistic thoughts, how to
challenge them, how to replace them with more realistic and helpful
thoughts, and an action plan for moving forward. By recognizing
these negative thinking habits, you'll feel more in control and
less anxious and sad. Most importantly, you'll be able to see
yourself and the world more clearly. Your thoughts don't have to
define who you are and how you experience life. The transdiagnostic
approach in this book will show you how to kick negative thinking
habits to the curb for good!
Everywhen is a groundbreaking collection about diverse ways of
conceiving, knowing, and narrating time and deep history. Looking
beyond the linear documentary past of Western or academic history,
this collection asks how knowledge systems of Australia’s
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders can broaden our
understandings of the past and of historical practice. Indigenous
embodied practices for knowing, narrating, and reenacting the past
in the present blur the distinctions of linear time, making all
history now. Ultimately, questions of time and language are
questions of Indigenous sovereignty. The Australian case is
especially pertinent because Australian Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people are among the few Native peoples without a
treaty with their colonizers. Appreciating First Nations’ time
concepts embedded in languages and practices, as Everywhen does, is
a route to recognizing diverse forms of Indigenous sovereignties.
Everywhen makes three major contributions. The first is a
concentration on language, both as a means of knowing and
transmitting the past across generations and as a vital, albeit
long-overlooked source material for historical investigation, to
reveal how many Native people maintained and continue to maintain
ancient traditions and identities through
language. Everywhen also considers Indigenous practices
of history, or knowing the past, that stretch back more than sixty
thousand years; these Indigenous epistemologies might indeed
challenge those of the academy. Finally, the volume explores ways
of conceiving time across disciplinary boundaries and across
cultures, revealing how the experience of time itself is mediated
by embodied practices and disciplinary norms. Everywhen brings
Indigenous knowledges to bear on the study and meaning of the past
and of history itself. It seeks to draw attention to every when,
arguing that Native time concepts and practices are vital to
understanding Native histories and, further, that they may offer a
new framework for history as practiced in the Western academy.

Much is known about British migration to Australia and something is
known of British communities in Australia, but knowledge,
particularly quantitative, of the reverse process is very sketchy.
The phenomenon has been acknowledged but little explored. There are
a number of important studies of significant Australians in the UK,
and there has been recent research on the current Australian
diaspora, but there is no study of the overall Australian presence,
its constituents or its characteristics. Developments in this field
of research offer an important window on how Australians related to
the 'British world' historically and on the dynamism of the
contemporary relationship. Australians in Britain is an edited
collection of papers of international research on the character and
experience of overseas Australians and Australian communities in
Britain since c.1901. It offers a comprehensive overview of current
scholarship in this exciting, new and developing field of inquiry.
This book has a contemporary focus, drawing on both recent and
historical experiences with a view to understanding continuing
trends, such as the consistent preponderance of women and the
recent surge in young professionals, and issues such as
expatriatism, imperialism, globalisation, national identity and
overseas citizenship. This book will appeal to scholars of
Australian Studies (within Australia and Britain especially),
History, Demography, Literary and Cultural studies and Tourism. The
topics of this book range from Australians in Britain (especially
London), including artists, literary intellectuals, students,
women, tourists and travellers, servicemen, nurses, teachers and
journalists, global professionals; the changing community;
demographic trends; migration; links between the two countries;
Australian newspapers in London; and Australia in the 'British
world'.
In a new and updated edition, Writing Histories: Imagination and
Narration is a book for anyone wanting to write histories that
capture the imagination and challenge the intellect. It aims to
show that historical narrative and imagination can work together to
produce works of history that are a pleasure to read. Nine
historians reflect on their work as writers, exploring some of the
most difficult and interesting questions any history-writer faces:
how to get started, how to find a 'voice', how to enliven a
description or a narration, and how to find a worthwhile structure.
Contributors also suggest how historians can convey multiple
perspectives, 'show' rather than tell, foreground the research
process, find inspiration from music, painting and landscape, and
use literary techniques such as metaphor. The book will be a useful
text for teachers and students in history-writing classes and
informal groups. There are suggestions for group exercises, and
advice on how to conduct writing workshops. Many historians,
however, both students and established writers, will continue to
write in relative isolation. This book is also intended for them.
This updated edition of Writing Histories has a new introduction
written by Ann Curthoys, and an updated bibliography.
