A postscript: Sectarianism into the twenty-first century
The Sectarian Strand was published in 1987, and so now is just over thirtyfive years old. Its origins, however, are earlier than that. In 1978 I had completed my doctoral thesis on 'The Catholic Campaign for State Aid in NSW and the ACT' and was about to take up a tenured position on the t...

| Σύνοψη: | The Sectarian Strand was published in 1987, and so now is just over thirtyfive years old. Its origins, however, are earlier than that. In 1978 I had completed my doctoral thesis on 'The Catholic Campaign for State Aid in NSW and the ACT' and was about to take up a tenured position on the teaching staff of the Department of Government at the University of Sydney. I wanted to explore the historical context for the battles over state aid for education. I very soon realised that, although there was a great deal of published writing on the history of education, there was very little on the role of religion and the churches generally in Australian history. Catholic historians had published widely on their own story, but very few Protestant historians had followed suit. More importantly, mainstream historians, conservative or radical, generally ignored religion as an important influence on society and politics. The most significant exception was Manning Clark, whose early volumes in his monumental five-volume History of Australia (1962-87) stressed the role of religious organisations and values in the foundation of the Australian colonies. Most conservative historians took a different path. On the more radical side, writers in the Marxist tradition insisted that if we understood the role of class structures, we had all the information we needed. In the 1970s Marxism was undergoing a revision that sought to place an emphasis on the way that class structures imposed their will on society through control over social and cultural sectors of society-so-called hegemonic power. |
