The cultural war lives on…
June 13th, 2008
Yes I know a blog of a blog, but this is the latest in the Australian cultural wars…linked here. It is an explanation as to why Australian academics have so long ‘clinged’ to the Australian aboriginal genocide thesis, in spite of the overwhelming evidence against it. As I have long suspected, most of Australia’s historians have written history with the aim of promoting a contemporary political agenda – in this case Aboriginal land, legal and special welfare rights. So it is a case of not letting the facts getting in the way of a sad story.
