LL:DDV: White settlement: violent conquest/benign colonisation?
Please circulate White settlement in Australia: violent conquest or benign colonisation? Two of Australia's high-profile historians go head-to-head in Melbourne's Trades Hall. KEITH WINDSCHUTTLE debates PAT GRIMSHAW WEDNESDAY 5 MARCH @ 6.30PM New Council Chamber, Trades Hall Last year, the independent historian Keith Windschuttle published The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, a study of settlement in Tasmania which claims to debunk the orthodoxy that white colonisation meant murder and dispossession. On Wednesday 5th March, he debates Pat Grimshaw, the Max Crawford Professor of History at Melbourne University and author of numerous historical works, including a forthcoming co-authored study of the place of indigenous peoples in the political structures of British settler colonies. Roger Kimball in The New Criterion, New York declared The Fabrication of Aboriginal History a 'scholarly masterpiece - destined to become an historical classic' while Dr Shayne Breen from the University of Tasmania attacked it as 'replete with misconceptions, distortions, character assassinations and unsupportable generalisations'. The issues in dispute go to the heart of Australia's past, present and future. Have the conventional historians of settlement got it wrong or was this country founded on a deep and abiding injustice? This is an important event, not just for historians but for anyone who cares about black-white relations in Australia. Keith Windschuttle is the author of The Killing of History: How Literary Critics and Social Theorists Are Murdering Our Past (2000), now in its fourth edition, as well as five other books on contemporary social issues. His most recent book, The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, Volume One, Van Diemen's Land 1803-1847, was published by Macleay Press in November 2002. He is also a publisher and a frequent contributor to The New Criterion and Quadrant. Pat Grimshaw holds the Max Crawford Chair of History at the University of Melbourne. She is the author of Women's Suffrage in New Zealand (revised edition 1987) and Paths of Duty: American Missionary Women in Nineteenth Century Hawaii (1989), and co-author of Creating a Nation (1994). A co-authored comparative study of the place of indigenous peoples in the political structures of British settler colonies is currently in press with Manchester University Press. The event will be chaired by Associate Professor Joy Damousi, Editor of Australian Historical Studies.

LL:DDV: nairn on britain
Wednesday Night at the NIB: Nairn on Blair The New International Bookshop presents Tom Nairn -- New Left Review editor and Professor of Nationalism and Cultural Diversity at RMIT -- speaking about his new book Pariah: Misfortunes of the British Kingdom. In a blistering polemic against the pretensions of the Blair regime, Tom Nairn argues for democratic and cultural reform and draws some disturbing parallels about Australian politics. Educated at the Universities of Edinburgh, Oxford and Rome, Professor Nairn taught at Birmingham University and Hornsey College of Art, London in the 1960s and was Senior Research Fellow of the Transnational Institute, Amsterdam from 1973 to 1979. In the 1980s, Professor Nairn worked for Scottish Television and as a writer-producer with Agenda Productions, before returning to academic life, working with Ernest Gellner at the Central European University, Prague. During the late 1990s he taught in the Graduate School of the University of Edinburgh. He is the author of seven books including 'The Break-Up of Britain', a book that was pivotal in remaking our understanding of nationalism. 6.30pm, 4 September New International Books Trades Hall 54 Victoria St Carlton Sth 3053 for more information, call 9662 3744 Jeff Sparrow Coordinator New International Book Co-operative Trades Hall Box 18 54 Victoria St Carlton Sth 3053 Mon-Fri 9am-6.30 pm Sat 11am-5pm tel 03 9662 3744 fax 03 9663 4755 www.nibs.org.au to receive regular updates about bookshop events, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Comrades, cling to your principles!

LL:DDV: book launch: Radical Melbourne
Jeff Sparrow and Jill Sparrow have produced a brilliantly original, long overdue unveiling of a great city's true past. Behind Melbourne's old and new mercantile facade, they have unearthed a people's story of struggle, despair and triumph. John Pilger You are invited to join VTHC Secretary Leigh Hubbard at the launch the new Vulgar Press title, Jeff Sparrow and Jill Sparrow's Radical Melbourne: A Secret History (with a foreword by Stuart Macintyre). Radical Melbourne presents a guide through the first hundred years of political radicalism in Melbourne, focusing on the structures, streets and public places that remain today. It concentrates on identifying the physical traces of radical Melbourne, in the hope that geographical familiarity will provide a cultural and political bridge between the struggles of the past and the people of the present. Radical Melbourne is a secret history of Melbourne, illustrated by rarely-seen images from the archives of the State Library of Victoria. The State Library is the book's major sponsor and has allowed the authors access to and use of over 80 fascinating historical images never before published in an historical work. The present-day images of the old sites offer startling and sometimes poignant visual contrasts. 6pm for 6.30 pm Friday Nov 16th Trades Hall Bar Cnr Victoria and Lygon St Carlton Sth RSVP on 9662 3744 Radical Melbourne 224pp 255mm x 190mm 134 illustrations ISBN 0 9577352 4 3 Jeff Sparrow Coordinator New International Book Co-operative Box 18 Trades Hall 54 Victoria St Carlton Sth 3053 tel 03 9662 3744 fax 03 9663 4755 to receive regular updates about bookshop events, click below http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nib-announce -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink

LL:AA: appeal for support for Melbourne Uni occupiers
Appeal for support for the Melbourne Uni occupiers At present, fifty-nine Melbourne uni students are facing expulsion following a peaceful occupation of the Vice Chancellor's office on April 5. One student has already been suspended for six months! Those who participated in the occupation -- as part of a campaign against corporatisation of education -- were invited by police to leave the Admin building. Those that did so were immediately arrested. All the occupiers now face disciplinary action, not for any particular action, but for their collective participation. In blatant disregard for natural justice, the uni is refusing to allow students any kind of representation at the disciplinary hearing. Today, a climate of repression and intimidation seems to be building. The recent arrest of protesters at the Nike blockade for simply handing out leaflets is another facet of this same intolerance. If the Melbourne Uni admin is able to victimise the occupiers it will be one more nail in the coffin of free speech. Support for the Melbourne Uni occupiers is growing. The list of backers now includes Senator Bob Brown from the Australian Greens, Dean Mighel from the Electrical Trades Union, Craig Johnston from the AMWU, Eve Bodsworth (President of the Melbourne University Student Union), academic Verity Burgmann and Kate Davison from the National Union of Students. To add your name -- or the name of your union or organisation -- call 8344 4808. There will be a demonstration in support of the occupiers on Wednesday May 23 at 1 pm at Melbourne Uni.
