The Push from the Bush

Last updated

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]

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]
