100% originality is essential
The purpose of this task is to:
• help you clarify, through reading and personal reflection, your understanding of an
important aspect of Australian history and contemporary political debate;
• develop your skills in critiquing perspectives and evaluating information gained from a
variety of sources; and
• enhance your written communication skills, especially as they relate to clarifying your
own conceptualisation of Australian history, the experience of Indigenous Australians
and your work as a classroom teacher.
Task :
A key element of contemporary 'cultural conflict' in Australia has been the so called 'history
wars' in which a key point of contention is how the early years of colonial settlement should
be addressed in the school curriculum. Conservatives want a 'grand narrative' of heroism –
the taming of a hostile land and the building of a new society based on the values of
mateship and egalitarianism. Progressives, on the other hand, want a 'warts and all' version
of Australian history – one that acknowledges the dispossession and suffering of
Indigenous Australians.
The two approaches are exemplified by the following quotes:
The 'black armband' view of our history reflects a belief that most Australian history since
1788 has been little more than a disgraceful story of imperialism, exploitation, racism,
sexism and other forms of discrimination. ... I believe that the balance sheet of our history is
one of heroic achievement and that we have achieved much more as a nation of which we
can be proud than of which we should be ashamed." John Howard (1996). The Liberal
Tradition: The Beliefs and Values which Guide the Federal Government. Sir Robert
Menzies Lecture. Sir Robert Menzies Lecture Trust.
In response to what eminent Australian anthropologist WEH Stanner referred to as "the
great Australian silence"] … revisionist historians represented colonization as a matter of
invasion, depicted the frontier as a line between conflicting parties, regarded the conflict as
war, treated the Aborigines' response as resistance, and explained the violence of
frontiersmen in terms of racism as well as other factors" Attwood & Foster (2003), Frontier
Conflict, National Museum of Australia, p.4.
Write an extended response. In doing so:
• Define what is meant by the term 'history wars' in the Australian context. Who are its
principal protagonists? Briefly outline the positions held be each side. (Approx. 200 words)
• With reference to the relevant research literature, provide an account of the
experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the period during
which European settlement spread across the Australian continent. (Approx. 1,000 words)
• Analyse the view that full Reconciliation depends on a recognition that the alienation
and disadvantage experienced by some Indigenous Australians can be linked to the
dispossession experienced in the past. (Approx. 400 words)
• Assess the claim that the perspective of Indigenous Australians continues to be mediated by those with little or no cultural experience of Aboriginality. Discuss the implications of this observation for your work as a classroom teacher. (Approx. 200
words)
Note: Students are encouraged to access at least some Indigenous perspectives directly – Marcia Langton's 'Prologue' to The First Australians would be a good starting point. Plenty
of Aboriginal historians/writers/artists have addressed the culture wars in one way or another in their particular representations of Australia's past.
