You might also enjoy a book I have by Raymond Evans called "Fighting Words: Writing about race". This book talks about the Aboriginal/European conflicts in colonial Qld, the anti-Chinese riots in 1888 and civilian internment during World War I. This book should be read by all school children to ensure they understand the "real" history of Australia. Only when we acknowledge the wrongs of the past can we move towards a constructive future for all Australians. Let me know if you'd like to borrow this book and I'll bring it next time I visit.
