AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Something about the millennial moment is piquing our interest in the past, more than usual it seems. Histories of cities can provide a valuable window into the people, conditions and events which have shaped the kinds of metropolis in which most of us live today. The Mayne Inheritance is one such book, set as it is, in the rough frontier town of nineteenth century Brisbane. It is a most welcome addition, to the social and political history of the city.'

While the rise of Pauline Hanson and One Nation appear to confirm Queensland's reputation as the racially divided 'Deep North' of Australia, it is from Queensland that the most far-reaching challenges to white Australia's complacent sense of itself as the product of settlement rather than invasion have come, through national debates sparked by the Mabo and Wik decisions. As part of its commitment to Reconciliation and to the dissemination of research on anti-racist theory and practice, the Queensland Studies Centre last year held a conference entitled 'Unmasking Whiteness: Race Relations and Reconciliation'. The conference provided the first national forum for whiteness research in Australia, and this issue of Queensland Review brings together a collection of articles based on papers delivered at that conference.'
