Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. ** Shortlisted, NSW Premiers History Awards 2022, Australian History Prize **** Winner, Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize 2023 **Australias deep past and its modern history are intrinsically linked to the Pacic. In Australia & the Pacic, Ian Hoskins award-winning author of Sydney Harbour and Coast expands his gaze to examine Australias relationship with the Pacic region; from our ties with Papua New Guinea and New Zealand to our complex connections with China, Japan and the United States. This revealing, sweeping narrative history begins with the shifting of the continents to the coming of the rst Australians and, thousands of years later, the Europeans who dispossessed them. Hoskins explores colonists attempts to exploit the riches of the region while keeping white Australia separate from neighbouring Asians, Melanesians and Polynesians. He examines how the advent of modern human rights and the creation of the United Nations after World War Two changed Australia and investigates our increasing regional engagement following the rise of China and the growing unpredictability of US foreign policy. Concluding with the offshore detention of asylum seekers and current debates over climate change, Hoskins questions Australias responsibilities towards our increasingly imperilled neighbours.A captivating general history of Australia viewed in a Pacific contextHoskinss meticulously researched and well-crafted account of Australias place in the Pacific certainly deserves a wide readership. Ross FitzgeraldIan Hoskins has written a major book. It is a fundamentally important subject, and is timely, original, fair-minded and accessiblea fascinating history that shows how Australias relationships with the Pacific have shaped and informed each of our worlds. He reveals the major underlying historiographical and political disputes with subtlety, clarity and power, while always displaying a remarkable fairness of judgement. Iain McCalmanIt is possibly no secret that I have been a passionate campaigner for Australia and especially the Australian media to pay more attention to the island nations to Australias North and East. Therefore, I am more than happy to see the publication of Ian Hoskinss Australia & the Pacific. I spent the majority of my career as a journalist visiting and reporting on these island nations and I believe that today it is even more crucial for us to understand exactly what is going on in our region. Sean Dorney'Ian Hoskins study of Australias relationship with the Pacific Ocean is masterfully woven . In summing up the major issues and perspectives surrounding them, Hoskins insights offer surprising juxtapositions and connections. Australia & the Pacific dissects the core of our identity as a multicultural nation and puts into context our place in the worlds largest ocean.' Judges comments, Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize 2023 Examines Australia's story in a Pacific context, from the countrys relationship with neighbours Papua New Guinea, Tahiti and New Zealand to its complex ties with China, Japan and the United States.

A sweeping history of one of the world's most recognised landscapes, Sydney Harbour explores the story of the waterway from the time of the Gameragal and Gadigal to the highly charged contemporary debates about the future of the harbour. The story moves as seamlessly as the tides as the harbour is taken from its traditional owners and transformed from a penal colony on the outer rim of the European imagination to an international commercial hub. Along the way, the waterway is lauded for its uncommon beauty, serves as an aquatic common enjoyed and contested. It becomes a symbol of a city and, finally, of a nation.A beautifully written, compelling book, this updated edition of Sydney Harbour lays out the interaction between the glittering harbour and the people who fish it, sail on it, build at the edges of it, fight for it, portray it and marvel at it.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. There are many ways to present a history of Australia and its Pacific neighbourhood, though there have been remarkably few attempts to do so. Had I worked as a reporter, administrator, aid worker or entrepreneur my insights would be very different. So, too, if I were a missionary or the son of the same. Instead, I am a historian. Australia and the Pacific is a revealing new way of looking at Australian history. Ian Hoskins, award-winning author of Sydney Harbour and Coast, expands his gaze to examine Australia's story in a Pacific context; from our relationship with neighbours Papua New Guinea, Tahiti and New Zealand to our complex ties with China, Japan and the United States. Beginning with the shifting of the continents, this sweeping narrative goes on to describe the coming of the first Australians and, thousands of years later, the arrival of the Europeans who dispossessed them. Hoskins explores the colonists' attempts to exploit the riches of the region while keeping 'white Australia' separate from the Asians, Melanesians and Polynesians who surrounded them, and how the advent of modern human rights and the creation of the UN after World War Two changed Australia. And, more recently, the offshore detention of asylum seekers, the current debates over climate change and Australia's responsibilities towards its threatened neighbours.…
