HMAS Bataan, 1952
An Australian Warship
in the Korean War
Anthony Cooper
A unique account of Australia’s
involvement in the Korean War, this
record tells the story of destroyer
HMAS Bataan’s 1952 tour of duty.
Written from two contrasting perspec-
tives—namely from a “lower deck”
seaman and an “upper deck” com-
mander—this narrative draws on a variety of archival sources,
including the ship’s monthly log, a collection of poetry written
aboard the ship during the war, letters, and photographs.
Peppered with intimate insights from the unpublished note-
books, this chronicle will entice those interested in naval and
military history.

Palm Island
Through a Long Lens
Joanne Watson
Based on extensive archival and oral
history research as well as on personal
connections with the community, this
volume challenges the prevailing nega-
tive view of Palm Island, Australia, and
argues against the failure to address
today’s continuing Indigenous disad-
vantage. This substantial history re-
counts some of the most explosive
episodes in Queensland history, including the 1930 rampage by the
first Superintendent, the community-wide strike by reserve workers
in 1957, and the tragic death in custody of Mulrunji Doomadgee,
which triggered civil unrest within the Indigenous community.
Heart-wrenching and at times uplifting, this account is essential
reading for anyone interested in the dynamics of power and privi-
lege and their contestation.
Joanne Watson is a writer and a teacher in the fields of
Australian social history, workplace relations, cultural studies,
and social health. She currently works at the Metropolitan South

What’s Wrong
with ANZAC?
The Militarisation
of Australian History
Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds
Brave and controversial, this account
argues that Australians’ collective obses-
sion with the Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) has dis-
torted their perception of national histo-
ry. Delving into the history of ANZAC and the mythologies
surrounding it, this detailed record explores topics such as the forma-
tion of Australia’s national holiday—ANZAC Day—and the way in
which the spirit of ANZAC is taught in the nation’s classrooms.
Ultimately, this informative narrative claims that ANZAC has become
a conservative political force in Australia and questions whether its
renowned foreign battles were worth all of the bloodshed.
Marilyn Lake is the author of The Limits of Hope, FAITH: Faith
Bandler, Gentle Activist, and Getting Equal: The History of
Feminism in Australia. Henry Reynolds is the author of a number

Zombie Myths
of Australian
Military History
Edited by Craig Stockings
In this fascinating account, leading
Australian military historians tackle 10
of the most enduring historical zom-
bies, or national myths, that have stag-
gered their way through the halls of
military history for more than 200
years. From Aboriginal resistance and invasion to Australia’s
recent involvement in East Timor, this record disproves the incor-
rectly memorialized and so-called gallant deeds of past Australian
servicemen. Provocative and opinionated, this record attempts to
correct the historical record.
Craig Stockings is a senior lecturer in history in the Australian

Abandoned by her mother as a baby
and by her volatile grandmother as a

Fred Harrison

Drawing on case studies of organized
violence—ranging from territorial wars
to organized crime—this record offers
a general theory to account for the use
of force in both the state and civil sectors of society. Challenging
the popular views that the dominant forms of violence are due to
failings of human nature, this volume suggests that the laws and
institutions favoring an approach to property rights that encourage
rent seeking are responsible. This record proposes policies to dis-
mantle the incentives that nurture violence by redistributing power
to the individual.

From jitterbugging and Big Brother to

rise of file-sharing, this study explores
the ways in which popular culture has
developed and changed in Australia
from the end of World War II to today.
In order to understand the massive social and cultural changes
that have taken place Down Under, popular culture is examined
through three main lenses: consumerism and the development of
a mass consumer society, the impact of technological change, and
the ways in which popular culture contributes to and articulates
individual and collective identities.

Zombie Factory
Culture, Stress
& Sudden Death
Michael Korovkin
and Peter Stephenson
Noting that most traditional examina-
tions of stress view it as a medical
condition, this guide takes an anthro-
pological approach and reveals a less
threatening picture of this natural
response to danger. Using narratives
from people in very stressful situations—including a spy, an
executive, a refugee camp worker, and a policeman—the discus-
sion shows that even harrowing amounts of stress can be pro-
ductive as long as the patterns of its application do not turn
dangerous. Summarizing these findings as they apply to
American workers, solutions are suggested to avoid becoming a
virtual zombie who has little awareness of his actions.
Michael Korovkin is a social and medical anthropologist. Peter
Stephenson is an applied medical anthropologist and the author
of The Hutterian People and A Persistent Spirit.
