Abstract

This article examines two recent memoirs of Australian historians, Peter Read's Belonging and Mark McKenna's Looking for a Blackfella's Point, from the perspective of the crises of settler belonging in Australia. It also contextualizes the two narratives in the wider network of intellectual memoirs, ego-histoire and whiteness studies.
