History

Notes

See Arena Magazine ( 2017), Number 148, a special issue to mark 10 years of the Intervention, and John Pilger's film, Utopia , accessible via: https://arena.org.au/arena-magazine-issue-148/.
On Indigenous incarceration, see Anthony, this volume. On child removal, see Larissa Behrendt's film, After the Apology , http://www.pursekey.com.au/after-the-apology/.
It should be noted that Green and her colleagues' more recent work on the Rohingya (Green, MacManus and de la Cour Venning 2015, 2018) does use a more expansive definition of genocide based on the framework of “genocide as social practice” (Feierstein 2009) and draws on concepts such as “social death” that are discussed in this article.
The National Museum of Australia has also compiled an incomplete but useful “Resistance reference list”: http://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/first_australians/resistance/resources. See also Note 7 below.
Major General Lachlan Macquarie was Governor of New South Wales, 1810– 1821.
For details of Ryan's Massacre Mapping Project, see https://www.newcastle.edu.au/newsroom/featured-news/mapping-the-massacres-of-australias-colonial-frontier.
There was significant resistance to this, including prolonged strikes and walk-offs, which led to ongoing campaigns around land rights and issues such as stolen wages. See, for example, McLeod ( 1984), Meakins and Charola ( 2016) and Ward ( 2016).
William Wentworth ( 1790– 1872) was a pastoralist, lawyer and Member of Parliament, and a key figure in the early colonial establishment in New South Wales: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/Pages/member-details.aspx?pk=239.
For a critique of Harvey that mirrors Callinicos's critique of Luxemburg, see Bailey ( 2014).
