"The past is a problem for us. We know certain events happened, sometimes
exactly when and yet our longing for certainty cannot be satisfied ... we tell
stories about where we come from and who we are. We change these stories
sometimes minutely, sometimes radically ... This is an original and
courageous book. Schlunke, who grew up in the New England area, takes this one
story - the massacre(s) of Aborigines at Bluff Rock, in New England during the
1840s - and looks at the many ways it is organised as a memory of
Indigenous/non-Indigenous relations. Schlunke breaks new ground as she probes
the 'hidden histories' of Indigenous-settler encounters and addresses herself
urgently to the problems of 'history' in Australia."
