{"product_id":"9781921825538","title":"Whitewash: On Keith Windschuttle's Fabrication of Aboriginal History","description":"In December 2002, \u003ci\u003eThe Fabrication of Aboriginal History, Volume One\u003c\/i\u003e by Keith Windschuttle was published. It argued that violence between whites and Aborigines in colonial Tasmania had been vastly exaggerated and sought to rewrite one of the most troubling parts of Australian history. The book soon attracted widespread coverage, including both high praise and heated critcism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Until now, Windschuttle's arguments have not been comprehensively examined. \u003ci\u003eWhitewash\u003c\/i\u003e collects some of Australia's leading writers on Aboriginal history to do just this. The result provides not only a demolition of Windschuttle's revisionism but also a vivid and illuminating history of one of the most famous and tragic episodes in the history of the British Empire - the dispossession of the Tasmanian Aborigines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors include: James Boyce, Martin Krygier, Robert van Krieken, Henry Reynolds, Shayne Breen, Marilyn Lake, Greg Lehman, Neville Green, Cathie Clement, Peggy Patrick, Phillip Tardif, David Hansen, Lyndall Ryan, Cassandra Pybus, Ian McFarlane, Mark Finnane, Tim Murray, Christine Williamson, A.

He is the author of three Quarterly Essays, \u003ci\u003eIn Denial, Sending Them Home\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBad News.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Schwartz Publishing Pty.
