The Push from the Bush: A Bulletin of Social History, was a journal devoted to early colonial Australian social history.[1]
It was the first journal in Australia to call itself a journal of social history.[2]
26 editions were printed under the title "The Push from the Bush" between May, 1978, and April 1988.[3] Another four editions were printed between 1989 and 1992 under the title "The Push".[4]
Topics covered included:[1]
- Settlement, contact and race relations
- Colonisation
- Government policy of the period
- Protectionism
- Social conditions of the time
The Founding editors were Alan Atkinson and Marian Quartly.[5][2] Others editors included John Knott[6] and Norma Townsend.[7]
The journal was initially created as a way to involve historians in the creation of Australia 1838, the second volume in the ten volume work Australians: a historical library, which was created by the Australian historical profession as a contribution to the Bicentenary of European colonisation. After Australians 1838 was completed in 1984, the journal became independent of the project. [2]
