He first came to prominence in the 1950s as a pioneer in the neglected field of Australian business history ... He produced during the 1960s and 1970s a number of surveys of Australian history in which explanation was organized around the exploration of the impact of the single factor (distance, mining, pre-settlement Aboriginal society) ... Blainey next turned to the rhythms of global history in the industrial period.... Because of his authority as a historian, he was increasingly in demand as a commentator on Australian public affairs.Bolton, Geoffrey. "Geoffrey Blainey" in Kelly Boyd, ed. Encyclopedia of Historians and Historical Writing, vol 1 (1999) pp. 93â95. {{ISBN|9781884964336}}
Early life
Blainey was born in Melbourne and raised in a succession of Victorian country towns before attending Wesley College and the University of Melbourne. While at university he resided at Queen's College and was editor of Farrago, the newspaper of the University of Melbourne Student Union.After graduating, Blainey took a freelance writing assignment and travelled to the Mount Lyell mining field in Tasmania to research and write the history of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company, at Queenstown. In the 1950s, many older residents could remember the beginnings of the community. The resultant book, The Peaks of Lyell (1954), achieved six editions.St. David's Park Publishing in Hobart acquired the rights from Melbourne University Press in 1993 and produced two more editions, the last of which sold out in 2011. See 1993 edition for full details. He then wrote a history of his university: The University of Melbourne: A Centenary Portrait (1956). He married Ann Warriner Heriot in 1957, who as Ann Blainey has become an internationally regarded biographer.WEB, 2020-09-12, Ann Blainey,weblink live, Willy Lit Fest, 11 September 2020, 26 November 2020,weblink WEB, 2009-03-31, Ann Blainey,weblink 2021-07-17, Black Inc., en, 22 January 2021,weblink live, Blainey has published over 40 books,WEB, Geoffrey Blainey,weblink live, 11 September 2020, Penguin Books Australia, 9 August 2020,weblink including his highly acclaimed A Short History of the World. His works have ranged from sports and local histories to interpreting the motives behind the British settlement of Australia in (The Tyranny of Distance: How Distance Shaped Australia's History|The Tyranny of Distance); covering over two centuries of human conflict in The Causes of War (1973); examining the optimism and pessimism in Western society since 1750 in The Great See-Saw; Aboriginal Australia in Triumph of the Nomads (1975) and A Land Half Won (1980); and his exploration of the history of Christianity in A Short History of Christianity (2011). He has also written general histories of the world and the "tempestuous" 20th century.Triumph of the Nomads is "a book which has done more than any other to open Australian minds to the pre-European past of their land" , according to Ken Inglis of the ANU. Blainey was also "the first writer to make that daring comparison that Aboriginal societies differed as much from one another as do the nations of Europe".JOURNAL, Inglis, Ken, 1987, Triumph of the Nomads, Overland, 106, 7, The Causes of War has become one of the most cited works in founding modern scholarship on international conflict (as at Sep 2020 â 2095 citations on Google Scholar). It is commonly cited by the Hoover Institution as a foundation work in the field.WEB, Schake, Kori, 23 January 2014, War: The Gambling Man's Game,weblink live, 13 September 2020, defining ideas, Hoover Institution, 12 December 2018,weblink He has revisited some of his earlier successes to take into account new discoveries and scholarship â Triumph of the Nomads and A Land Half Won were revised as The Story of the Australia's People Vol 1 : The Rise and Fall of Ancient Australia and The Story of the Australia's People Vol 2: The Rise and Rise of a New Australia .Throughout the course of his career, Blainey has also written for newspapers and television. The Blainey View (1982) was a history of Australia shown in ten episodes on ABC television.Academia
In 1961, he began teaching economic history at the University of Melbourne, was made a professor in 1968, and was given the Ernest Scott chair in history in 1977. In 1982 he was appointed dean of Melbourne's Faculty of Arts. From 1994 to 1998, Blainey was foundation Chancellor of the University of Ballarat.WEB, Wickham, Dorothy, November 2005, Professor Emeritus Geoffrey Blainey (1930â); Historian and author; Foundation Chancellor of the University of Ballarat,weblink live,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20060914193821weblink">weblink 14 September 2006, 6 April 2020, UB Honour Roll, Federation University, dmy-all, He was visiting professor of Australian Studies at Harvard University.In the academic field, he was on the board of the Melbourne University Press in the early 1960s, deputy dean of the Economics Faculty in the early 1970s, president of the council of Queen's College in the University of Melbourne from 1971 to 1989, and on the national selection committee for the Harkness Fellowships from 1977 to 1989 (chairman 1983â89).Who's Who in Australia, 2013, p. 287Philanthropy and public service
Blainey was invited by Prime Minister Harold Holt in 1967 to sit on the advisory board of the Commonwealth Literary Fund, serving until its abolition in 1973 (chairman 1971â73). He then became inaugural chairman of the Literature Board of the Australia Council for the Arts (Later called Australia Council), set up by the Whitlam government. He served on the Council from 1977â1981. Following Whitlam's election promise to introduce a Public Lending Right Scheme for authors, Blainey was appointed chairman of the committee representing authors, publishers and librarians that, in 1973, recommended the scheme adopted by the government a year later. Australia's scheme differed from the pioneering scheme adopted in Denmark in 1946. Blainey represented writers on the small group instructed to find the new national anthem that Whitlam had promised. From that initiative came a public poll supporting the long-standing Australian patriotic song, "Advance Australia Fair".REPORT,weblink Annual Report, 1973, Australian Council for the Arts, 29â30, 17 July 2021, 17 July 2021,weblink live, In December 1973, Blainey was an Australian delegate to the first UNESCO conference held in Asia, in Yogyakarta, Java; it recommended cultural policies for Asia.BOOK, Department of Foreign Affairs, Australia,weblink Australian foreign affairs record, Australian Government Publishing Office, January 1974, 45, 1, 35â36, 473047184, Blainey was deputy chairman in 1974 and 1975 of the Whitlam government's Inquiry into Museums and National Collections, whose report ultimately led to the completion in Canberra, in 2001, of the National Museum of Australia with its emphasis on indigenous history.Who's Who in Australia, various editions since 1965 Most of the Inquiry's report had been drafted by Blainey and his colleague, Professor JD Mulvaney.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}}Views on Asian immigration
On 17 March 1984, Blainey addressed a major Rotary conference in the Victorian city of Warrnambool. He regretted that the Hawke Labor government in "a time of large unemployment" was bringing many new migrants to the areas of high unemployment, thus fostering tension. He blamed the government, not the migrants themselves. Criticising what he viewed as disproportionately high levels of Asian immigration, then running at 40 per cent of the annual intake, he added: "Rarely in the history of the modern world has a nation given such preference to a tiny ethnic minority of its population as the Australian Government has done in the past few years, making that minority the favoured majority in its immigration policy".The Age, and Warrnambool Standard, 19 March 1984Three days later, in response to the prediction of the "increasing Asianisation" of Australia made by Labor's Immigration Minister Stewart West, Blainey argued: "I do not accept the view, widely held in the Federal Cabinet, that some kind of slow Asian takeover of Australia is inevitable. I do not believe that we are powerless. I do believe that we can with good will and good sense control our destiny.... As a people, we seem to move from extreme to extreme. In the past 30 years the government of Australia has moved from the extreme of wanting a white Australia to the extreme of saying that we will have an Asian Australia and that the quicker we move towards it the better".Source: The Age, 20 March 1984Blainey's speech, along with subsequent articles and a book on the subject, ignited nationwide controversy, especially in the Australian federal parliament, which had not debated the principles of the immigration policy for many years. Some critics argued that Blainey's views were moderate and not racist, citing the idea that "All peoples of the world are worthy and deserve respect" was the 'prime principle' of Blainey's book, All for Australia, which he wrote on the topic. However, in All for Australia he criticised the belief that "immigration policy should primarily reflect the truth that all 'races' are equal.Blainey, Geoffrey. All for Australia, Sydney, 1984, p.164 On the contrary, an immigration policy should not, any more than a trade or tariff policy, be designed primarily to reflect that fact". According to Blainey, the Australian government's immigration policy was increasingly being influenced by multicultural ideology to the detriment of the national interest and the majority of Australians. He argued: "We are surrendering much of our own independence to a phantom opinion that floats vaguely in the air and rarely exists on this earth. We should think very carefully about the perils of converting Australia into a giant multicultural laboratory for the assumed benefit of the peoples of the world". Blainey also warned that the "crimson thread of kinship" invoked by Sir Henry Parkes was being undermined, stating: "The cult of the immigrant, the emphasis on separateness for ethnic groups, the wooing of Asia and the shunning of Britain are part of this thread-cutting."His views were to receive the support of a majority of Australian voters, both Labor and non-Labor voters, as a national Gallup poll confirmed in August.Melbourne Herald, 27 August 1984 citing an Australian Public Opinion Polls survey of 2182 voters Victorians especially disapproved of the University of Melbourne's conduct in this matter.In contrast, while Blainey was briefly in Europe in May, a professor and 23 other history teachers from the University distributed a public letter distancing themselves from what they called his "racialist" views.Letter to the Age of 19 May 1984 signed by 24 historiansMorgan, Hugh (2006). "Can Australia Survive the 21st Century?". The Wilfred Brookes Memorial Lecture. Deakin University Other historians, including lecturers in Asian history, refused the request to sign the letter.{{cn|date=July 2022}}After a crowd of left-wing students and marchers broke into the heavily guarded building where Blainey was conducting a tutorial in historical research, he was advised by the university on security grounds that it must cancel all his future addresses within the University for the rest of 1984.Melbourne Sun News PictorialABC TV, 19 June 1984 In Brisbane on 5 July, when he gave a memorial address in honour of a deceased Queensland businessman in the Mayne Hall at the University of Queensland and chaired by the chancellor Sir James Foots, noisy protesters tried to dislocate the meeting.Courier Mail 6 July 1984 These and similar protests were major items in the national television news. Blainey continued to express his views periodically on television, radio and his own newspaper columns but not in his own university. He retained his main position as Dean of the Faculty of Arts.Blainey and his family were subject to threats of violence, prompting him at the police's request to remove his name and address from the public telephone book and organise security for his home. According to fellow historian Keith Windschuttle: "The immediate consequence of all this was that Blainey, easily Australia's best and most prolific living historian, was effectively silenced from speaking at his own university.... This violation of academic freedom, clearly the worst in Australian history, provoked no protest at all from the university's academic staff association, nor from the university council, let alone his own departmental colleagues."Windschuttle, Keith. Stuart Macintyre and the Blainey affair {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150410221229weblink |date=10 April 2015 }}. Quadrant, v.52, no.10, Oct 2008: 30â35.On the so-called "Blainey affair", Australian prime minister John Howard would remark: "Nowhere, I suggest, have the fangs of the left so visibly been on display as they were in a campaign based on character assassination and intellectual dishonesty through their efforts to trash the name and reputation of that great Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey."In December 1988, Blainey resigned from the University of Melbourne and resumed his former career as a freelance historian.Blainey's comments in interview with Frank Devine of Quadrant published in October 2006 In 1994, the Victorian government appointed him to the honorary position of foundation chancellor of the new University of Ballarat.Subsequently, in December 2007, the University of Melbourne granted a Doctor of Laws to BlaineyPress Release from University of Melbourne WEB, Smith, Katherine, 2007,weblink University of Melbourne honours Geoffrey Blainey's contribution to Australian history, University of Melbourne, 14 December 2007,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20071227220630weblink">weblink 27 December 2007, dmy-all, and declared that he was, in Australia, probably a unique professional historian, noting that he had fostered wide public interest in history. The citation observed that "few graduates of this University have exerted greater influence on national life".Blainey and the "History Wars"
Blainey has been an important contributor to the debate over Australian history, often referred to as the History Wars.In his 1993 Sir John Latham Memorial Lecture, Blainey coined the phrases "Black armband view of history" versus the contrasting "three cheers" view (see History wars). The phrase "Black armband view of history" began to be used, pejoratively or otherwise, by some Australian commentators and intellectuals about historians and journalists, judges and clergymen, whom they viewed as having presented an unfairly critical portrayal of Australian history since European settlement.{{Citation needed|date=April 2013}}Blainey coined the term the "Black armband view of history" to refer to those historians and academics, usually leftist, who denigrated Australia's past to an unusual degree and accused European Australians of genocide against Aborigines. Former Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser described the Australian history wars as a branch of the "culture wars" and attributed Blainey with having initiated the wider wars in his immigration speeches of 1984.Malcolm Fraser and Margaret Symons, Fraser: the Political Memoirs, Melbourne University Publishing, 2011, see index and pp. 616â7Reflecting on the Australian Bicentenary in 1988, Blainey accused some academics and journalists of depicting Australian history since European colonisation as essentially a "story of violence, exploitation, repression, racism, sexism, capitalism, colonialism, and a few other 'isms'." Blainey also accused supporters of multiculturalism of having "little respect for the history of Australia between 1788 and 1950," claiming that in their eyes "Australia was a desert between 1788 and 1950 because it was populated largely by people from the British Isles and because it seemed to have a cultural unity, a homogeneity which is the very antithesis of multiculturalism."Blainey, Geoffrey. Eye on Australia : Speeches and Essays of Geoffrey Blainey, Schwartz Books, Melbourne, Vic., 1991, 272 pp.Blainey referred to the contrasting positive histories as the "three cheers" school.NEWS, Michael, Gordon,weblink Going down in history, The Age, 6 September 2003, 11 February 2007, 3 September 2007,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20070903204719weblink">weblink live, {{quotation|To some extent my generation was reared on the Three Cheers view of history. This patriotic view of our past had a long run. It saw Australian history as largely a success. While the convict era was a source of shame or unease, nearly everything that came after was believed to be pretty good. There is a rival view, which I call the Black Armband view of history. In recent years it has assailed the optimistic view of history. The black armbands were quietly worn in official circles in 1988. The multicultural folk busily preached their message that until they arrived much of Australian history was a disgrace. The past treatment of Aborigines, of Chinese, of Kanakas, of non-British migrants, of women, the very old, the very young, and the poor was singled out, sometimes legitimately, sometimes not.... The Black Armband view of history might well represent the swing of the pendulum from a position that had been too favourable, too self congratulatory, to an opposite extreme that is even more unreal and decidedly jaundiced.|Geoffrey Blainey, In Our Time, Melbourne, 1999}}Critics of Blainey's article claimed that it was anti-Aboriginal. However, Blainey applauded the "many distinctive merits" of the traditional Aboriginal way of life.Blainey, In our Time, p. 11 Moreover, Blainey's earlier book Triumph of the Nomads,Triumph of the Nomads, Macmillan, Melbourne, 1975, and Outlook Press, NY, 1976 and subsequent Sun Books editions was highly sympathetic to Aboriginal people, as the title indicates. It is still said to be the only narrative history of Aboriginal Australia before 1788, and a pioneering work. It was listed by the National Book Council in 1984 as one of the ten most significant Australian books of the previous 10 years.Annual Report of National Book Council, 1985. Blainey has been critical of Bruce Pascoe's work, Dark Emu, regarding Aboriginal life prior to 1788 stating that there existed "no evidence that there was ever a permanent town in pre-1788 Australia with 1000 inhabitants who gained most of their food by farming" as claimed by Pascoe.WEB, 2021-06-12, Best-selling Aussie book 'debunked',weblink 2021-07-02, NewsComAu, en, 2 July 2021,weblink live, During the launch of his 2015 book The Story of Australia's People Volume 1: The Rise and Fall of Ancient Australia, Blainey predicted the History Wars would continue in the public arena for some time as "it is in the nature of history and of most intellectual activities, and the more so in a nation where the main strands of history â Aboriginal and European â are utterly different."NEWS, Geoffrey, Blainey,weblink Geoffrey Blainey: "I can see parts of our history with fresh eyes", The Australian, 21 February 2015, 13 June 2015, 22 May 2015,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20150522231701weblink">weblink live, In June 2020, Blainey was critical of iconoclast destructions of historical monuments and public statues following the George Floyd protests.WEB, 2020-06-18, Geoffrey Blainey on the vandalism of historic statues, and the geopolitics of Coronavirus conspiracies,weblink 2021-04-23, ABC Radio National, en-AU, 17 July 2021,weblink live, Blainey viewed the destructions as rallying against Western civilization, calling for a tempered approach to acknowledging the West's "virtues", in addition to its shortcomings.Awards
Geoffrey Blainey was made a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria in 1967. In 1975 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for his contribution to Australian literature. He was awarded a Companion of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours list of 2000 for his service to academia, research and scholarship.It's an Honour {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129123002weblink |date=29 January 2019}} â Companion of the Order of Australia The following year he was awarded a Centenary Medal for his services to the Centenary of Federation, of which he was Council chairman in 2001 and previously a member.It's an Honour {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013220444weblink |date=13 October 2008 }} â Centenary MedalAt the United Nations in New York in 1988, he was one of five intellectuals, including the American economist John Kenneth Galbraith and the Mexican poet Octavio Paz, who were awarded gold medals for "excellence in the dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of mankind".
