In 2015 Monash University Publishing will continue to build on its established strengths
in Australian studies and history, Asian studies, politics and biography.
The work of Celia Rosser, botanical artist, was impossible to resist for our catalogue
cover, with Carolyn Landons biography to illuminate the creative process, amongst
other dimensions, of Rossers extraordinary working life.
How is it possible that there hasnt been an earlier biography of Googie Withers and
John McCallum? asks Brian McFarlane in Double-Act, and proceeds to demonstrate why
this could no longer be tolerated.
The question could be re-figured in relation to polio in Australia, and the National
Council of Women, which will each receive their first major historical treatments later
this year, in books by Kerry Highley and Marian Quartly and Judith Smart.
There are major works here on the Indonesian intellectual Raden Ajeng Kartini and on
the achievements of Asia scholar Giuseppe Tucci; works which will stand the test of time.
While Ive not space to mention all of our 2015 titles, were proud of all of them.
In 2014 Monash University Publishing recorded a 47% increase in retail sales numbers
on the back of important interventions into Australian public debate (particularly
Maestro John Monash and Northern Lights), an expos of ongoing state violence in Sri
Lanka, and biographies of the great newspaper proprietor David Syme and the humble,
but no-less impressive, gardener and gardening author Jean Galbraith.
2014 will be a hard year to surpass but it will be an enjoyable challenge trying to do so.

Celia RosseR, BotaniCal aRtist

By Carolyn Landon
Carolyn landon
This is the story of Celia Rosser, internationally

acclaimed botanical illustrator, who dedicated
her life to painting the entire genus of Banksia,
the only artist to have done such a thing. Her
dedication to the task put her at the centre of the
Monash Banksia Project underwritten by the
University for twenty-five years and culminating in
the production of an extraordinary three-volume
florilegium that became one of the great books
published in the twentieth century.
The story follows her struggles to pursue her
Celia RosseR, BotaniCal aRtist
artistic passion while fulfilling the expectations
Carolyn landon
of women in the 1950s to subordinate themselves
to their husbands as wives and mothers. As her
children become more independent, she recognises
opportunities and, eventually, finds a place at
Monash University to fully express herself through her art.
In telling this story of Celia Rossers unparalleled talent and extraordinary achievement,
this book explores the history of botanical illustration, botany, academia, gardens and their
herbaria and Australias place in changing the shape of the world.
Carolyn Landon has written several award-winning memoir/biographies, but this is the
first time she has set her sights on a subject already known and admired for her extraordinary
talents and artistic achievement. Her books include Jacksons Track; Memoir of a Dreamtime
Place (Penguin); Jacksons Track Revisited; History Remembrance and Reconciliation (Monash
University Publishing); Cups with No Handles; Memoir of a Grassroots Activist (Hybrid Press);
Black Swan; A Koorie Womans Life (Allen & Unwin).

Dancing in My Dreams
Dancing in My DreaMs
Confronting the Spectre

Polio
confronting tHeof
spectre
of polio
Kerry HigHley
Across most of the world, an entire generation has lived free from the spectre of
polio, but for fifty years during the twentieth century that fear was overwhelming.
Polio rapidly became every parents worst nightmare, and panic drove rational
people to do bizarre things to protect their children. The polio epidemics arrived
silently, often with symptoms that could easily be mistaken for a common cold and
the suddenness with which healthy children succumbed to the virus meant that
the disease was regarded with particular dread. Those who were infected and were
fortunate enough to survive the disease often found that they now faced disability in
an unfriendly world that valued conformity to an ideal body shape.
The treatments that polio survivors were offered generated a fierce debate between
the medical communitys enforced orthodox treatment and those who advocated
alternative therapies. In pre-Second World War Australia, two women symbolised
the rift that existed between treatments for the paralysed body. In Victoria, Dr Jean
Macnamara followed the orthodox approach using splints, plaster casts and braces
to protect and control the body before commencing therapeutic exercise usually
after a period of some months. In her clinic in Townsville and later in the United
States of America, Sister Elizabeth Kenny championed and practised a contrasting
method of treatment. Kenny believed in little or no form of constraint for the
paralysed body apart from sand bags and a foot-board, she advocated gentle exercise
of muscles in the early, acute stage of the disease, and used hot packs to relieve pain,
spasm and tightness in muscles.
Dancing in My Dreams investigates the disease of polio and its treatment over a
long period, the scientific endeavour that led to the discovery of the poliovirus, and
the early studies in virology and immunology that culminated in the production of
a polio vaccine. Early histories of medicine were often written from the perspective
of the leading medical men and neglected the experience of the patient, who was
viewed with increased objectivity. That approach has changed and, throughout
Dancing in My Dreams, the voice of the polio survivor can be clearly heard.

with symptoms that could easily be mistaken for

Those fortunate enough to survive infection often
faced an unfriendly and unhelpful world.
Appropriate treatments for polio survivors
were fiercely debated. In pre-Second World War
Australia, two women symbolised a dramatic rift
between the medical communitys orthodoxy
and those who advocated alternative therapy. In
Victoria, Dr Jean Macnamara used splints, plaster
casts and braces. In her clinic in Townsville and
later in the USA, Sister Elizabeth Kenny championed and practised an alternative approach of
little or no form of constraint for the paralysed body, advocating gentle exercise of muscles in
the early, acute stage of the disease, and hot packs to relieve pain, spasm and muscle tightness.
By the 1950s, most Western countries had abandoned the orthodoxy of immobilising polio
survivors in plaster casts for months on end. In Australia, where the medical establishment
was largely unquestioned, this treatment was to remain dominant until the 1960s.
Dancing in My Dreams investigates the disease of polio and its treatment over a long period,
the scientific endeavour that led to the discovery of the poliovirus, and the early studies in
virology and immunology that culminated in the production of a polio vaccine. For the first
time, in a history of this disease, the voice of the polio survivor can also be clearly heard.
Kerry Highley worked in medical laboratory science for many years before returning to
University in 2000 to study history. In 2009 she received her PhD in the History of Medicine
from the Australian National University for her thesis on the polio epidemics in Australia.
While at the ANU, she tutored in Second World War studies and the History of Terrorism,
and retired in 2011 to work on Dancing in My Dreams. Apart from polio, her research interests
include the history of the Australian Army Medical Corps in the First World War.

A Life Confronting
By Colin Tatz
Racism crushes bodies and souls. In Human Rights and Human Wrongs Colin Tatz
a world authority on racial conflict and abuse, a key figure in Aboriginal Studies
in Australia and an author of major works on genocide, Aboriginal youth suicide,
and Aboriginal and Islander sporting achievements tells his personal story.
Born and educated in South Africa, Tatz worked to expose and oppose that
nations centuries-old apartheid regimes before leaving for what he thought would
be a more enlightened nation, only to find in Australia striking parallels of that
other dismal universe.
As a researcher, writer and activist he has dedicated his life to confronting what
people do to other people on the basis of their race or ethnicity. Here he also relates
how alienation, his Jewishness and an intriguing problem with food have been, for
him, propelling forces.
Tatzs story, ranging from Southern Africa to Australia, New Zealand, Canada
and Israel, is an important one for anyone genuinely interested in the struggle to
achieve social justice for minorities and marginalised peoples.

Respectable Radicals
A History of the National Council of Women Australia, 1896-2006
By Marian Quartly and Judith Smart
For much of the twentieth century, the National Council of Women of Australia was the peak
body representing women to government in Australia, and through the International Council
of Women, to the world. This history of NCWA tells the story of mainstream feminism in
Australia, of the long struggle for equality at home and at work which is still far from achieved.
In these days when women can no longer be imagined as speaking with one voice, and women
as a group have no ready access to government, we still need something of the optimistic
vision of the leaders of NCWA. Always respectable in hat and gloves, they politely persisted
with the truly radical idea that women the world over should be equal with men.
Marian Quartly holds the position of Professor Emerita at the Monash School of
Philosophical, Historical and International Studies. Her long-term research concern is the
history of family in late twentieth century Australia. She has recently completed two large cooperative projects: a history of Australian adoption, and a history of the National Council of
Women of Australia.
Judith Smart is a principal fellow at the University of Melbourne and an adjunct professor
at RMIT University. She has published on Australian womens organisations in the first half of
the twentieth century, as well as on women and political protest, women and religion, the Miss
Australia beauty contest, and the social history of the home front during war. She is the coeditor with Shurlee Swain of The Encyclopedia of Women and Leadership in Twentieth-Century
Australia.

A Vigilant Life
In MArCH 1967 South Australian Attorney-General Don Dunstan appointed

his states most outstanding barrister as Chief Justice. In public, Brays appointment
brought barely a ripple, but in the murky waters of Adelaides corridors of power
this decision unleashed waves of outrage and bitter revenge seeking, which would
eventually lead to the sacking of a police commissioner, the resignation of Dunstan
as South Australian Premier and the early retirement of Bray.
After his successful defence of rupert Murdochs News in 1960 in a seditious
libel case, Bray made a powerful enemy who coveted the position of Chief Justice
that Bray would come to hold an enemy who would then ruthlessly target Brays
unconventional private life.
This is the story of an extraordinarily gifted man whose judicial writings continue
to be cited across the Commonwealth and who determined to defend not only his
own natural right to a private life but also that of all citizens.
As Michael Kirby relates in his Foreword, the abuse of power, recorded in those
pages, stands as a warning to us.

The Two Frank Things

P e T e r F i T z P a T r i c k
New in Paperback
They shared a name, of course, and their physical resemblance was startling.
And both Frank Thrings were huge figures in the landscape of twentieth-century
Australian theatre and film.
But in many ways they could hardly have been more different. Frank Thring
the father (18821936) began his career as a sideshow conjuror, and he wheeled,
dealed and occasionally married his way into becoming the legendary F.T.
impresario, speculator and owner of Efftee Films, Australias first talkies studio.
He built for himself an image of grand patriarchal respectability, a sizeable
fortune, and all the makings of a dynasty.
Frank Thring the son (19261994) squandered the fortune and derailed the
dynasty in the course of creating his own persona a unique presence that
could make most stages and foyers seem small. He won fame playing tyrants
in togas in Hollywood blockbusters, then, suddenly, came home to Melbourne
to play perhaps his finest role that of Frank Thring, actor and personality
extraordinaire. Central to this role was that Frank the son was unapologetically
and outrageously gay.
Peter Fitzpatricks compelling dual biography tells the story of two remarkable
characters. Its a kind of detective story, following the tracks of two men who
did all they could to cover their tracks, and to conceal the self : Frank the father
used secrecy and sleight-of-hand as strategies for self-protection; Frank the son
masked a thoroughly reclusive personality with flamboyant self-parody. Its also
the tale of a lost relationship and of the power a father may have had, even
over a son who hardly knew him.

Australian Religious Thought
AUSTRALIAN RELIGIOUS THOUGHT

SIX EXPLORATIONS
WAYNE HUDSON
This book is the first major study of Australian religious thought.
It argues that religious though can be found in many intellectuals
in Australia, both in the religiously inclined and in those who were
not conventionally religious. Drawing together existing and new
research, this book opens up new perspectives and re-thematises
the field in six exploratory studies. Each study is revisionist in some
respects. Shapes of disbelief are explored in intellectuals of many
types. The concept of sacral secularity is used to complex and
contest discussions of the secular in Australia. Religious liberalism
is interpreted as transnational and as often a source of social reform.
Interactions between religious thought and philosophy are discussed
in some detail, as is the development of theology, which has received
relatively little attention from historians. Account is also taken of
what might perhaps be called postsecular consciousness in many
intellectuals. Taking religious thought more seriously suggests
possible revisions to the way the national story has been told. There
was more serious intellectual life in Australia than some historians
have claimed, and a considerable part of it was in a broad sense
religious.
Wayne Hudson works across the fields of philosophy, history,
politics and religion. He is an authority on the German Jewish
philosopher Ernst Bloch and a leading historian of English deism.
He has published eighteen books and is currently an Adjunct
Professor at the University of Queensland, Charles Sturt University
and the University of Tasmania.

The Australian

Book of Quotations
Australian archaeology has been involved in a great enterprise over the last sixty
years, uncovering the deep past of a desert continent and the history of its first
people. This book is a guide to the catchphrases of the discipline. It is a meditation
on science and place, culture and politics, deep time and the Dreaming and it
is steeped in an appreciation of good writing and a well-turned phrase. Woven
in amongst these quotations is the story of how, as a nation, we are coming to
terms with ancient Australia.
Desert archaeologist Mike Smith has compiled this collection over the course
of a lifetime. Each entry has been chosen because it is a pithy summation of an
issue. Combined, the quotations map the development of the field and give us
a snapshot of the people, the places, and the ideas that have driven the recent
revolution of Australias timescale.

Edited by Narelle Miragliotta, Anika Gauja and Rodney Smith
Edited by Narelle Miragliotta, Anika Gauja & Rodney Smith
Political parties have always been fundamental to Australias representative

democracy. As organisations, however, their continued centrality and
longevity depend upon their ability to respond to changing political, social
and technological circumstances, such as declining levels of membership and
partisan affiliation, and the rise of social media.
In this volume the first book dedicated to Australian political parties in
nearly a decade we bring together many of the leading scholars of Australian
politics to examine the evolving role and relevance of political parties
today. Chapters explore the diversity of Australian parties organisational
arrangements, the contemporary challenges they face, and the institutions
that shape their behaviour. The contributions tell a story of adaptation by
the Australian parties during a time of flux, one which suggests that party
organisations will be central to Australian political life for quite some time yet.

no minor parties in the national parliament, they have become crucial players in
shaping government policy and the political debate. This book charts the rise of
minor parties in the australian senate since the end of the second World War
and constructs an analytical framework to explain how they became the powerful
actors they are today. it shows that there has been a change in the type of minor
party elected. rather than be created as a result of a split in a major party, newer
minor parties have been mobilised by broad social movements with the aim of
advancing specific policy agendas. By shedding light on these parties, the book
shows how minor parties have impacted the australian political system and how
they look set to remain an important component of governance in the future.

Thinking the Antipodes

By Peter Beilharz
thin k in g the an tiPod es

Australian Essays
Peter Beilharz
In 1956 Bernard Smith wrote that we in Australia were migratory birds. This
was to become a leading motif of his own thinking, and a significant inspiration
for Peter Beilharz. Beilharz came to argue that the idea of the antipodes made
sense less in its geographical than its cultural form, viewed as a relation rather
than a place. Australians had one foot here and one there, whichever there this
was. This way of thinking with and after Bernard Smith makes up one current of
Beilharzs best Australian essays.
Two other streams contribute to the collection. The second recovers and
publicises antipodean intellectuals, from Childe to Evatt to Stretton to Jean
Martin, who have often been overshadowed here by the reception given to
metropolitan celebrity thinkers; and examines others, like Hughes and Carey,
who have been celebrated as writers more than as interpreters of the antipodean
condition.
The third stream engages with mainstream views of Australian writing, and
with the limits of these views. If we think in terms of cultural traffic, then the
stories we tell about Australia will also be global and regional in a broader sense.
Australia is the result of cultural traffic, local and global.

Putting the WoW into

Digital Divas
Putting the Wow into Computing for Girls
By Julie Fisher, Catherine Lang, Annemieke Craig

and Helen Forgasz
Putting the WoW into

ComPuting for girls
The geek is male. Or so it seems. As is well documented, there is a

distinct under-representation of girls studying computing at high
school level and, correspondingly, going on to have careers in IT.
To address this problem in 2007, the authors of this book, with
backgrounds in secondary teaching or IT, trialled a new and
revolutionary program in schools: Digital Divas.
The Digital Divas program, based on the idea that it was
possible to change girls perceptions of IT careers with
educationally sound materials that tapped into their interests and
were delivered in all-girl classes within the school curriculum, was a great success.
In Digital Divas: Putting the Wow into Computing for Girls, Fischer, Lang, Craig and Forgasz
recount what they did and how they did it and reflect on the significance of this program,
which has indisputably led to an increased self-sufficiency with IT amongst girls, challenged
stereotyped understandings of IT as a male activity, and increased the pursuit of IT careers by
young women.

Activism and Aid

Young Citizens Experiences of Development and Democracy in East Timor
By Anne Wigglesworth
Timor-Lestes independence was forged at a time when international developmental theory

had rejected top down approaches and recognised the importance of participatory approaches
informing developmental strategies. When the arrival of the United Nations and a multitude of
bilateral and multilateral and non-government organisations arrived in Timor-Leste in 1999 it
was hoped that the international intervention would at last produce a development success story.
Independence also brought the realisation that dreams for an independent Timor-Leste varied,
often according to their generation. Three generations of Timorese: the political elite, a younger
generation of independence activists (gerasaun foun) and todays youth of independent TimorLeste, each bring their own experiences and face different challenges in Timor-Leste. Today
stark contrasts between the values of customary life and those of the modernising world place
both community leaders and young Timorese at a crossroads. The experiences of the Timorese
are unique, but this book reflects a broader analysis about how aid-influenced processes of
development can work in greater harmony with people to realise their own visions of the future
of the nation.

Asia, Professor Giuseppe Tucci (18941984). Through the work

of present-day scholars, both senior and emerging, this volume
represents their efforts to maintain the impetus of the profound
legacy Tucci left. Renowned to this day as a founding scholar in
an extraordinarily wide variety of disciplines, as well as being
an explorer of hitherto largely unknown lands, such as Tibet,
Tucci gained a deep knowledge of Asia through a familiarity
with its people, places and literature. His contribution to modern
scholarship is nothing less than remarkable. The volume reflects
the broad variety of topics in which Tucci himself displayed deep interest and serves as an
homage to his work.

Forbidden MeMories WoMens experiences oF 1965 in eastern indonesia
edited by Mery KoliMon and liliya Wetangterah
This is the first book to consider the experiences of women survivors of 1965 anticommunist violence in the majority Christian province Eastern indonesia. so far, most
studies of the 1965 violence have focused on the Muslim majority population of Java and
hindu majority population of Bali. Forbidden Memories presents stories from across the
regions of sumba, sabu, Alor, Kupang and other parts of West Timor of women who
were imprisoned and tortured or whose husbands were murdered. The book is a critical
examination of the role of the Protestant Church at the time of the violence and in its
aftermath, including ongoing sanctions and political purges against those considered to
be supporters of the indonesian Communist Party. Themes include the impact of the
violence on women teachers, members of the womens organisation Gerwani and the
fracturing of social and religious communities. The writers critique the role of religious
and state institutions for failing to care for this vulnerable community in the face of state
terrorism and a culture of fear.
The editors and research team hope this publication will create a safe and peaceful
environment for survivors to tell their stories and for society to acknowledge their
suffering and to struggle with them to restore their rights.
Edited by Mery Kolimon, Lilya Wetangterah and Karen

Campbell-Nelson | Translated by Jennifer Lindsay
I am very appreciative and amazed at the work that has gone into this book; such a
complete study from the perspective of victims, especially women victims. What is very
interesting is how the church participated in the violence, or at least did not prevent
the violence from occurring. It adds to our knowledge about the impact of the political
turmoil after the military coup by Suharto and his accomplices, and how the anti-PKI
campaign has ruined many lives without them knowing why or what really happened.
(Nursyahbani Katjasungkana, LBh-PiK founder, former Member of Parliament in
2004-2009, former Commissioner of the National Commission on Women)
The case studies in this report reveal a great deal of new knowledge. As far as I know, this
is the first study on the subject conducted by a Christian church in Indonesia - Catholic
or Protestant.... It is therefore of utmost urgency that this book is distributed as widely as
possible. Studies such as this can lead to related initiatives in memorialization, reparations
and education.

Witch-Hunt and Conspiracy

The Ninja Case in East Java
By Nicholas Herriman
This book brings unique insight and prize-winning analysis to

an extraordinary story that of a witch-hunt and ninja craze
that swept a region of Java, Indonesia, in 1998. When neighbours,
family members and friends believed that one among them was a
sorcerer, this suspicion would sometimes culminate in the death
of the suspect. In 1998, these sporadic killings turned into an
outbreak of violence. On the basis of extensive research in the
field, Herriman explains the local causes of this violence, in the
process of debunking received historical wisdom on this subject.

By Andrew Scott
The nations of Scandinavia and Finland, or Nordic Europe,

continue to provide living proof that economic prosperity can be
combined with social equality and environmental responsibility.
This book, written from an Australian perspective, explores
previous outside policy interest in the Nordic nations and
outlines some lessons which the English-speaking world, in
particular, can learn from the achievements of the four main
Nordic European nations.
Dr Andrew Scott is Associate Professor in Politics and Policy at Deakin
University, Melbourne. He is the author of four previous books and numerous
book chapters and articles on aspects of politics, policy and history, frequently
involving international comparisons. For several years Andrew has been
researching English-speaking nations past interest in and lessons they can
learn from the policy achievements of the Nordic European nations.

Denmark and Norway
The nations of Scandinavia and Finland, or Nordic Europe, continue to provide

living proof that economic prosperity can be combined with social equality and
environmental responsibility. This book, written from an Australian perspective,
explores previous outside policy interest in the Nordic nations and outlines some
lessons which the English-speaking world, in particular, can learn now from the
achievements of the four main Nordic European nations. In terms of income
distribution these countries are still much more equal than Australia, Britain,
New Zealand and Canada and nearly twice as equal as the United States.
Workforce participation rates are high in the Nordic nations but working hours
remain within reasonable limits, enabling genuine worklife balance. Sweden
has played a leading role in improving wellbeing, and lowering poverty, among
children. Finland has achieved stunning success in schools since the 1990s.
Denmark invests in comprehensive skills training as part of providing security,
as well as flexibility, in peoples employment lives. Norways taxation approach
and other measures ensure that its natural resources are used sustainably for
the entire nations long-term wealth. All of these achievements are relevant to
the policy choices for the future which Australia, and other English-speaking
countries, can now make.

HOW THE RAJAPAKSA REGIME GETS AWAY WITH MURDER
How the Rajapaksa Regime Gets Away with Murder

SRI LANKAS SECRETS

Grant also details the continuing torture and abuse of Tamils in
Sri Lanka, and some national governments ongoing support for a
regime that has abandoned any pretense of democracy. Foremost
among these enthusiastic supporters has been the Government of
Australia, cynically preoccupied with stopping the boats fleeing
Sri Lankan state terror. At any cost.
SRI LANKAS SECRETS

As the civil war in Sri Lanka drew to its bloody end in 2009 the
government of this island nation removed its protection from
UN officials and employees, who, along with other international
observers, were forced to leave the conflict zone. President
Mahinda Rajapaksa and his inner circle wanted, it seemed, a war
without witness.
The end result was the deliberate slaughter of an estimated
70,000 innocent civilians. However, many survivors, and
some who died, were able to capture on camera the horrifying
conclusion to the war and the cruel deprivations of the internment
camps that followed. Today, through their images and testimony,
Rajapaksa stands accused of war crimes.
In Sri Lankas Secrets experienced journalist Trevor Grant
presents the shocking story of the final days of this war, alongside
the photographs and eye-witness accounts of many Tamils,
including Maravan, a social worker who fled to Australia by boat
after being tortured by soldiers seeking his folio of photographs.

David Syme
Man of The Age
By Elizabeth Morrison
The Melbourne Age newspaper dominated the newspaper stage in

Australia from the 1870s to the end of the colonial period. In the
1880s its circulation was far in excess of any other daily throughout
all British colonial possessions and its proprietor, the driven,
talented Scotsman David Syme, was acknowledged as the leader of
the Australian press. For the influence that he and his newspapers
exercised, he became a legend in his lifetime and for several
generations after his death in 1908.
Drawing on family and business records as well as newly digitised
nineteenth-century newspaper archives, this biography of a powerful man of many parts
seeks to go behind the legend and round out the story of his life.
How wonderful to be able to hear that mans insights on the really curly questions of newspaper
life! [T]he scrupulous detailed recording of Elizabeth Morrisons researches is the nearest I am
ever to reach to the word with the actual warmth of blood in it, and I count myself lucky indeed
for her gift [T]he book is already my own most thumbed acquisition in years.

this is the story of Jean Galbraith, one of australias most influential botanists
and writers on nature, plants and gardens. during a writing career that spanned
seventy years, she turned botanical writing into a literary art, developed new
forms of garden writing in australia, and was tireless in spreading knowledge of
native plants. The magic of her writing delighted her readers. she put her vision of
nature into words and helped australians of all ages to see their own landscapes
in new ways.
This is also the story of a writer and her place, a valley in Gippsland, Victoria.
The valley was fundamental to her being and the source of her inspiration. she
celebrated the beauty of all she saw a peppermint tree by her fence, a drift of
wildflowers near a creek but she was also witness to encroaching industrialisation
that transformed her landscapes.
Through telling the story of Jean Galbraiths passion for nature and her simple
life, of her writing and its far-reaching influence, this book offers insights into
australias gardening, botanical and environmental history.

Donald E. Pease Jnr, Professor of English and Comparative Literature and
The Ted and Helen Geisel Third Century Professor in the Humanities, Dartmouth
The late Gore Vidal occupied a unique position within American letters. Born into a
political family, he ran for office several times, but was consistently critical of his nations
political system and its leaders. A prolific writer in several genres, he was also widely
known particularly in the United States on the basis of his frequent appearances in
the various electronic media.
In this groundbreaking work examining the central theme of power throughout
Vidals writings, Heather Neilson focuses primarily on Vidals historical fiction. In his
novels depicting American history and those set in ancient times, Vidal evokes a world
in which deliberately propagated falsehood disinformation becomes established as
truth. Neilson engages with Vidals representations of political and religious leaders, and
with his deeply ambivalent fascination with the increasingly inescapable influence of the
media. She asserts that Vidals oeuvre has a Shakespearean resonance in its persistent
obsession with the question of what constitutes legitimate power and authority.

The Battle for Australias Inner Cities
Renate Howe, David Nichols and Graeme Davison
Australias inner cities experienced an upheaval in the 1960s

and 70s which left them changed forever. People from all walks
of life who valued their suburbs places like Balmain, Battery
Point, Carlton, Indooropilly, North Adelaide or Subiaco
resisted large-scale development projects for freeways, slum
clearance and mass-produced high-rise. Unlikely alliances of
post-war migrants, university students and staff, construction
workers and their unions, long-term residents and city workers,
challenged land-grabs and inappropriate development.
This book is an in-depth examination of the causes and
consequences of urban protest in a democracy. It shows how it changed the built environment
as well as its participants, and resonated in many of our institutions including politics, media
and multiculturalism.

This anthology brings together some of the finest writing in

English on the subject of the English country house. As the
collection demonstrates, people shape their houses and their
houses shape them. The various glimpses that the extracts provide
of the country house its architecture, its garden, the wellbeing
of its servants and tenants, the hospitality (or lack of it) that its
guests experience, the extent of the paternalism in the running of the estate all in some way
reflect the character of the owners. The huge ostentatious villa of Popes Timon reflects the
vulgar pretension of its owner, just as the noble house and demesne of Beaumanoir is a home
befitting the cultured and hospitable Lord Henry Sydney of Disraelis Coningsby. Each extract
has a short introduction that provides its context, indicates salient details, and suggests
something of the larger works enduring value.

New Tricks
Reflections on a Life in Medicine and Tertiary
Education
By Richard Larkins
What is the essence of leadership? Richard Larkins, a major figure

of Australian science, medicine, and university administration,
provides a rare, candid account of a life lived in the public
eye, and of the philosophy he has drawn upon to negotiate the
personal and professional challenges this life has thrown up.
High above the hushed crowd, Rex tried to remain focused.
Still, he couldnt shake one nagging thought: he was an old dog
and this was a new trick.
These words lay beneath a Gary Larson cartoon showing a dog riding a unicycle on a
tightrope in a circus bigtop while juggling balls with its front paws, swinging a hoop round its
middle, balancing a jug on its head and holding a cat in its mouth. The card with the cartoon
was sent to me by my long-time scientific colleague, Marjorie Dunlop, to mark my transition
from Dean of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne to
Vice-Chancellor and President of Monash University in 2003. I had just turned 60 and this
was indeed a new trick.
I started writing these reflections three days after I completed my term [as Vice Chancellor]
at Monash University. I was entering the next phase of my life. It would be studded with a
variety of interesting and challenging part-time activities. I thought it an appropriate time
to reflect on the tricks I have learnt both as a young dog and an old dog and the experiences I
have had in an adult life time spent in medicine, research, health policy and higher education.

AnzAc MeMories was first published to acclaim in 1994, and has achieved
international renown for its pioneering contribution to the study of war memory
and mythology. Michael McKernan wrote that the book gave as good a picture of
the impact of the Great war on individuals and Australia as we are likely to get in
this generation, and Michael Roper concluded that an immense achievement of
this book is that it so clearly illuminates the historical processes that left men like
my grandfather forever struggling to fashion myths which they could live by. In
this new edition Alistair Thomson explores how the Anzac legend has transformed
over the past quarter century, how a post-memory of the Great war creates new
challenges and opportunities for making sense of the national past, and how
veterans war memories can still challenge and complicate national mythologies.
He returns to a family war history that he could not write about twenty years
ago because of the stigma of war and mental illness, and he uses newly released
Repatriation files to question his own earlier account of veterans post-war lives
and memories and to think afresh about war and memory.

Education in Asia Pacific countries is being transformed by globalisation and
the market economy. Most economies within the region have flourished due to
increased regional capital flow, trade and other forms of economic and political
interaction. The Asia Pacific also has rich and unique traditions, which create
cultural diversity as well as common challenges, including obstacles of language
and geographical separation. While these countries are well documented in
Western scholarship, there is a growing reaction to the predominance of Western
social theories. This response is fuelling recognition of and movement towards
theories that reference the wide range of contextual and cultural perspectives
available in the East.
The contributors to this volume are currently researching contemporary
education in Asia Pacific countries. They offer Eastern-oriented perspectives
on teacher education, parent participation, government withdrawal, textbook
content, uses of modern technology, the challenges of the migrating families
and tertiary students who travel from overseas for study. These commentaries
highlight the issues of equity, identity and social justice and also open up
dialogue between social theories that reference East as well as West.

Contemporary Lives and Impressions

Long before the advent of modern tourism, Australians travelled to live

in Italy, or undertook extensive visits there. Indeed they continue to do so in
increasing numbers, as women and men find Italian partners; as business people
with European interests settle there; as retirees in their thousands seek the good
life that Italy in Ros Pesmans words, this culturally endowed place of rebirth
seems to promise.
While many are familiar with celebrated expatriates such as Germaine
Greer, Jeffrey Smart, Peter Robb and David Malouf, hundreds of other artists,
writers, musicians and intellectuals have made and continue to make a notable
contribution to the cultural and intellectual lives of both countries. Whilst
Australian Studies flourishes in Italian universities, Australian academics write
distinguished accounts of Italian history covering various eras. Despite this
sustained activity, the scholarly and cultural engagement of Australians with
Italy is not a well known story.
This collection seeks to map the past and present of the Australian love
affair with Italy, and yields rich insights into its causes, motivations and
transformations. Contributors include former Australian Ambassador to Italy
Rory Steele, poet Peter Porter, contemporary artists Euan Heng and Jo-Anne
Duggan, as well as distinguished academics and young scholars. Amongst the
diverse range of articles and vignettes are chapters by Ian Britain on Donald
Friends Italian years, Loretta Baldassar exploring the phenomenon of reverse
migration, and novelist Lisa Clifford reflecting on her family ties with Italy.
Australians in Italy will appeal to scholars and students of migration and
multiculturalism, Australian Studies, Italian Studies, and tourism and travel.
It will also delight those interested in Italy and all things Italian people of
Italian-Australian backgrounds, armchair and actual travellers, sojourners in
Italy, and the general reader.

SurvivorS Speak aBout 196566 violence in indoneSia
Survivors Speak About 196566 Violence in Indonesia

Edited by Putu Oka Sukanta | Translated by Jennifer Lindsay
tranSlatEd by jEnnifEr lindSay
Edited by former political prisoner Putu Oka Sukanta, this collection brings
together voices from people around the archipelago who experienced the 196566
violence in Indonesia. Fifteen witnesses from Medan, Palu, Kendari, Yogyakarta,
Jakarta, Bali, Kupang and Sabu Island share stories of how they navigated this
horrifying period of Indonesian history and how they have lived with this past.
These are ordinary people who worked as teachers, artists, womens activists and
policemen before their lives were turned upside down when those considered
to be supporters of the Indonesian Communist Party began to be attacked.
These accounts, including one from a perpetrator who is now tormented by
guilt, and others from survivors who still feel isolated and rejected by society,
show how the violence continues to influence Indonesian society. This book
will be a valuable resource for students of history, of Indonesia and for people
wanting to understand the impact of the 196566 violence.

In Timors chequered history, many other nation states have been involved.
The prime purpose of this book is to examine the role of the British in Timors
past. Timor was not a part of the British empire, nor important to its commerce.
However, Timor had a long relationshipindeed its longestwith Portugal.
Britains interest was thus largely indirect. Indirect as it was, this interest had two
peaks, marked by the Second World War and by the decolonisation of Southeast
Asia. These are recognised in this book, with the former being the concern of the
first four chapters, and the latter the focus of the last four.
The book concludes with an account of the Indonesian incorporation of Timor
into its territory. During this time, reporting by British diplomats was still copious
and perceptive. Britainwhich had by now withdrawn from Singaporeadopted
only a very limited policy-making role. But though its interest was more indirect
than ever, its role had implications for the independence that the Timorese finally
secured. Tarling suggests from this that post-colonial states are successor states of
empire.

WINNER, 2013 National Biography Award
By Peter Fitzpatrick
THE TWO FRANK THRINGS
P E T E R F I T Z P A T R I C K
They shared a name, of course, and their physical resemblance was startling.
And both Frank Thrings were huge figures in the landscape of twentieth-century
Australian theatre and film.
But in many ways they could hardly have been more different. Frank Thring
the father (18821936) began his career as a sideshow conjuror, and he wheeled,
dealed and occasionally married his way into becoming the legendary F.T.
impresario, speculator and owner of Efftee Films, Australias first talkies studio.
He built for himself an image of grand patriarchal respectability, a sizeable
fortune, and all the makings of a dynasty.
Frank Thring the son (19261994) squandered the fortune and derailed the
dynasty in the course of creating his own persona a unique presence that
could make most stages and foyers seem small. He won fame playing tyrants
in togas in Hollywood blockbusters, then, suddenly, came home to Melbourne
to play perhaps his finest role that of Frank Thring, actor and personality
extraordinaire. Central to this role was that Frank the son was unapologetically
and outrageously gay.
Peter Fitzpatricks compelling dual biography tells the story of two remarkable
characters. Its a kind of detective story, following the tracks of two men who
did all they could to cover their tracks, and to conceal the self : Frank the father
used secrecy and sleight-of-hand as strategies for self-protection; Frank the son
masked a thoroughly reclusive personality with flamboyant self-parody. Its also
the tale of a lost relationship and of the power a father may have had, even
over a son who hardly knew him.
