Description

Aboriginal persons are prominent in accounts of early colonial Sydney, yet we seem to skip a century as they disappear from the historical record and reemerge in early within the twentieth century. Paul Irish’s Hidden in Plain View explores what happened in the meanwhile. How did Indigenous people come to be ignored in colonial narratives? On this original and essential book, he brings this poorly understood period of Sydney’s Aboriginal history back intofocus.Irish tells the compelling story of the Aboriginal presence within the heart of Sydney all the way through the nineteenth century and reveals the complex relationship between Aboriginal people and the growth of Sydney. He shows that Aboriginal people weren’t pushed out of the best way by urban expansion and charts how they developed cross-cultural relationships and established links with the settler economy.Hidden in Plain View reminds us that Aboriginal people have all the time been a part of the physical and historical fabric of Sydney.
