Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts: Charting the Future of Teaching the Past

Medicine has evolved from the undertaking of the individual practitioner to a state in which many disciplines become involved in administering both diagnostic and treatment services. It has become a standard of care in hospital and clinic-based practice to utilize a multidisciplinary approach to medical care. Multidisciplinary modes of practice, however, do not ensure that participants interact cooperatively, or with the exclusive purpose of patient benefit. The usual mode of interaction within medical academic and clinical environments promotes individualism, protectionism, and some degree of isolation, not infrequently to the detriment of patient care. The stated purpose of this book is to provide a synthesis of theories and methodologies that promote a growing permeability of boundaries and that allow for intellectual accommodation. Health care professionals have been turning to interdisciplinary intervention approaches for several reasons, but the most compelling in medicine is the need to solve problems that are beyond the

Making People Illegal: What Globalization Means for Migration and Law

Stuart Macintyre, one of Australia's most highly regarded historians, revisits A Concise History of Australia to provoke readers to reconsider Australia's past and its relationship to the present. Integrating new scholarship with the historical record, the fifth edition of A Concise History of Australia brings together the long narrative of Australia's First Nations' peoples; the arrival of Europeans and the era of colonies, convicts, gold and free settlers; the foundation of a nation state; and the social, cultural, political and economic developments that created a modern Australia. As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, Macintyre's Australia remains one of achievements and failures. So too the future possibilities are deeply rooted in the country's past endeavours. A Concise History of Australia is an invitation to examine this past.

A concise history of Australia

A study surveying the changing positions towards Asian migration in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the US between 1919 and 1978. The volume examines the foreign policy choices and relations of the four nations and how their desire to maintain policies of Asian exclusion shaped regional and inte

The long, slow death of White Australia

IN OCTOBER 1948, the New Zealand Prime Minister, Peter Fraser. made a stopover in Negombo, Ceylon, whilst on his way to the Prime Ministers' Conference in London. At a press conference in the city 's airport, questions from the local press quickly turned to racially discriminatory immigration policies. 'Did New Zealand have its own White Australia Policy?' Fraser replied that there was no discrimination against 'Indians' in New Zealand 'because no white policy on Australian lines operated there.' Satisfied with the answer, Ceylon's two national dailies carried the headlines: 'No \"White Policy\" in NZ' . New Zealand was applauded for its position while Australia, and its notorious 'White Australia Policy' , were once more discredited. At a meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee on European Migration (ICEM) in Geneva in 1953 a memorandum from the New Zealand government insisted that: 'No statutory provision is at present in force which specifically restricts entry into NewZealand on the basis of race, religion or nationality.' In both cases the New Zealand government and its representatives were not lying. Indians within New Zealand faced few legislative discriminations, and there was no statutory provision which restricted entry into New Zealand on the grounds of race, religion or nationality. In substance, however, the New Zealand government was not telling the truth. In Ceylon. Fraser had completely sidetracked the issue of immigration, and in the diversion indicted Australia for a crime it was no more guilty of than New Zealand. Both Australia and New Zealand maintained similar policies toward Indians within their countries in conformity with a number of Imperial Conference resolutions which had been passed in the interwar period. The question remained — did New Zealand discriminate against Asian migrants in the same way as Australia did? While the methods were different a truthful answer from Fraser would have been 'yes' . A
