Contesting Australian History

One of Australia’s leading scholars and a highly distinguished professor of history, Marilyn Lake forged a career that spanned several decades across a number of universities. Her books have significantly advanced our understandings, not only of Australian social, cultural, and political history, but also of the interdependence of that history with those of Britain, the US, and the Asia-Pacific. The chapters in this book span the breadth of Lake’s scholarly influence on the directions historical research is taking today, and are based on papers by overseas colleagues and Australian scholars abroad, which were presented at a Festschrift held at the University of Melbourne over two days in December 2016.

Una dintre cele mai importante cercetatori din Australia si un profesor de istorie extrem de distins, Marilyn Lake a inceput o cariera care s-a intins pe mai multe decenii in mai multe universitati. Cartile ei ne-au avansat semnificativ intelegerile, nu numai despre istoria sociala, culturala si politica australiana, ci si despre interdependenta acestei istorii cu cele din Marea Britanie, SUA si Asia-Pacific.
