Out of the Silence: The History and Memory of South Australia’s Frontier Wars (2012)
Foster, Robert and Amanda Nettelbeck
Explores the nature and extent of violence on South Australia's frontiers in light of the foundational promise to provide Aboriginal people with the protection of the law, and the resonances of that history in social memory. What do we find when we compare the history of the frontier with the patterns of how it is remembered and forgotten? And what might this reveal about our understanding of the nation's history and its legacies in the present?
