Abstract

As much as anyone outside the Chinese-Australian community, Barry McGowan helped to change the way Australians think and talk about Chinese-Australian history. Building on the pioneering work of Janis Wilton and her Golden Threads project, Barry became a fervent advocate for linking community history with archaeology and, as I learned from our conversations, for encouraging a new generation of Chinese Australians to contribute their family and community histories to the wider Australian story. He was particularly concerned that the future of Chinese-Australian history should not be left to fly-in-fly-out tycoons from China seeking to colonise Australian history with China©s historical grievances. We spoke about this some months before his untimely death in September 2018.
