Excerpt: ‘One of the more intriguing elements of the research, to me at least,
was the imperial frame within which many Australians located themselves
in the first half of the twentieth century. In some ways this research project
began with my puzzling over a proposal, made in the late 1920s by the
Adelaide-based Aborigines’ Protection League, for a model Aboriginal
state in Arnhem Land that would be governed by Aboriginal people
largely according to their own laws and customs’.
