Regional History Museums beyond the History Wars in Australia: An Analysis of Nine History Museums in Queensland Takao FUJIKAWA In so called ‘History Wars’ in Australia, former liberal PM, John Howard and his favorite historian, Geoffrey Blainey denounced former labour MP, Paul Keating and the ‘black armband history’. Battles were fought over the interpretation of the Aboriginal history and the exhibition at the National Museum of Australia. However, passion has dissipated in time. People have lost interest in the History Wars. In spite of such an apparent armistice, the cause that brought about the History Wars, that is, a structural change of history in the wider sense and reinvigorated nationalism, remains to be fully analysed. This article attempts to shed light upon the structural change behind the History Wars. Australia has entered the era of emerging nationalism and growing historical consciousness since the 1980s in parallel with the rapidly developing globalization. It seems that the former cannot be easily reconciled to the latter. In Australia, the author maintains that historization of society is taking place in Australia. This does not suggest that simple symbiosis of a nineteenth century type of national history and a nation-state is emerging in the twenty first century. This means that Australian state and society, facing and living with the multicultural situation and globalization, have to develop a new type of nationalism, with which history penetrates wider segments of Australian life. By analyzing regional history museums in Queensland, the author aims to examine part of the penetration of history into wider areas of society and to reveal how various factors constitute this phenomena and make it possible the simultaneous developments of the globalization and a new type of nationalism.
