He set out to help remedy the situation and ended up transforming Australian history in ways he could never have imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLooking from the North\u003c\/i\u003e, Reynolds again turns Australian history on its axis with an exploration of colonisation north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Reynolds tells the stories of the European, Chinese, Japanese and Pacific Islander people who were vital to the settlement of the north. Along with the experience of First Nations peoples, from employment on stations and as native police to the land rights and homelands movements, Reynolds shows how the colonisation of the north, officially beginning in 1861, was a very different venture to settlement in the south. He argues that it provides profoundly important lessons for the world we live in today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'This book is another masterpiece by Henry Reynolds. It combines the personal with the professional historiography that trademarks his work.
