Beschreibung

Australia's history stretches back more than 65,000 years, making it home to one of the world's oldest continuous human cultures. This book traces the full arc of Australian history from the Aboriginal peoples who inhabited the continent for millennia, through the European arrival in 1788, the convict settlement era, the gold rushes and frontier violence of the nineteenth century, and the development of a modern nation in the twentieth century.

Giving significant attention to the history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples alongside the colonial and post-colonial story, the book covers the political, social, and cultural forces that shaped modern Australia. It addresses the frontier wars, the White Australia policy, the stolen generations, and the path toward reconciliation, alongside the federation of 1901 and Australia's involvement in both World Wars. Written for a general international readership, it is a reliable and accessible account of a country whose history deserves wider attention.

Reader review:"One of the better single-volume histories of Australia available in English. It doesn't shy away from the difficult parts and covers a huge amount of ground." -- S. O'Brien

This title suits Australian and Pacific history sections. It is a strong choice for public libraries, trade bookstores, and wholesale accounts with customers interested in Commonwealth and Southern Hemisphere history.

Über den Autor

Hi, I'm Auke, a passionate advocate for the Frisian language with deep roots in Frisian culture. I grew up in this vibrant heritage and have dedicated myself to preserving our unique linguistic identity. It's spoken by about 500,000 people, mostly in Friesland, Netherlands. As a key contributor to [...], I work with others to create books that educate and inspire, helping ensure the Frisian language, recognized as an official language alongside Dutch, stays alive for future generations. My work comes from a strong belief in language as the foundation of history and belonging. I'm proud that proceeds from these books support nonprofit efforts like De Fryske Wrâld. Join me in sustaining this ancient European tongue. Let's keep Frisian thriving.
