Описание: Breaking the Silence recovers the conflicted politics around Aboriginal affairs in the first decades of the twentieth century. From 1905, when the report of the controversial Roth Royal Commission in Western Australia was made known to the public, to the eve of World War II, the condition and treatment of Aboriginal Australians, as well as their pasts and futures, were leading social questions which generated much discontent and discourse, and underscored the awakening of a national conscience. Yet this consternation was totally disproportionate to political will which contained it and consigned Aborigines on the eve of the second world war. In canvassing aspects of this politics — Aboriginal defenders and their claims and the responses of governments to them — Alison Holland's research qualifies the mantra of a 'great Australian silence'. She asks why there was such investment in Aboriginal affairs in the first half of the twentieth century, what form it took, what was at stake and what the outcomes were. In answering these questions, the book provides important historical context for the consternation and debates still being had in the Australian polity over Aboriginal affairs and raises some important connections between the beginning of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Описание: By any measure, the battles of Bataan and Corregidor were amongthe most intensely fought and devastating episodes in the WorldWar II Pacific theater. Beginning in early 1942, the JapaneseImperial Army invaded the Philippines in an attempt to controlthe Pacific region and expand its sphere of influence. The retreatand last stand of Filipino and American allied forces marked thelargest surrender in their respective military histories. Their efforts slowed the Japanese advance but only at great cost.John A. Adams Jr. provides a new and compelling explorationof these pivotal events by recounting the history of Bataan andCorregidor through the eyes of 89 soldiers and officers who wereformer students and citizen soldiers from the Agricultural andMechanical College of Texas. All were products of the Corps ofCadets, and indeed no other institution could boast of such a largedeployment in the opening of the war. While many words have been written on Bataan and Corregidor,none have taken the approach of collective biography as TheFightin’ Texas Aggie Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor does here. As a result, this book is not only a new contribution to the history of World War II but also stands to be a landmark publication on the history of Texas A&M University.
