- Title
‘John and Jackey’: An Exploration of Aboriginal and Chinese People’s Associations on the Victorian Goldfields.
- Authors
CAHIR, FRED; CLARK, IAN
- Abstract
Whilst historians have tended to concentrate on northern Australian analyses of Sino-Aboriginal relationships this paper shall explore the topic of Aboriginal associations with Chinese people on the Victorian goldfields (1850-1900). Evidence is provided that establishes a shared history, both positive and derogatory, which has hitherto been ignored or poorly understood. It contributes to the broadening of Victoria’s cultural cartography by including Chinese and their intersections with Aboriginal people on the goldfields.
