Welcome to History Wars
Quadrant and the History Wars seem synonymous.
So, we are adding a new page to Quadrant Online called History Wars.
History Wars is both an online archive for writing that has appeared in the magazine and elsewhere and a platform for voices that challenge the established Left stranglehold on our past.
As the orthodox historians busily rewrite even the recent past these are some of the essays that have questioned their views and suggest an alternate history.
These are the blacklisted voices the Left has tried to silence and ignore.
A selection of essays that made headlines:
There were no Stolen Generations here…
History Wars and the Holocaust here…
Against the bullies here…
The extinction of the Australian Pygmies here…
The Assault on Anzac here…
The Invention of Terra Nullius here…
The Return of Postmodernism in Aboriginal History here…
More History Wars essays are here…
Many will disagree, but World War III is too great a risk to run by involving ourselves in a distant border conflict
