australiachinarelations.org

IN CONVERSATION: ROBERT MACKLIN - DRAGON & KANGAROO

We welcome author and historian Robert Macklin to discuss his book, Dragon & Kangaroo (Hachette, 2017). Chinese 'presence' in Australia extends from well before the time of Captain Cook, trading with northern Australia long before European settlement. Robert Macklin traces a new history of our two nations, beginning from pre-colonial times, to John Macarthur's 'coolie' shepherds, the only Chinese bushranger, Sam Pu, and the atrocities committed against the Chinese in the gold rush, through to the present, canvassing our deepening economic bonds. Mr Macklin will give a talk on Dragon & Kangaroo, followed by a discussion with Professor Bob Carr, ACRI Director, and a Q&A session with the audience. Copies of Dragon & Kangaroo will be available for purchase on the evening and Robert Macklin will be available to sign books after the event.
