By exploring the themes of settler colonialism and modernity in Australian commentary about Italy's invasion of Abyssinia in 1935, this paper sets out to consider Italy's war in north Africa as an international crisis with significance for Australian progressive narratives about Aboriginal conditions, status and rights important to Australia's international reputation. Thus, Australia's role as a member of the League and a mandatory power will be read in the context of international debate about Italy, modernity, race and violence. My case study draws from the experiences of Bessie Rischbieth, alternate delegate for Australia to the League of Nations in 1935, who observed the Abyssinian protest being made before the Assembly. Rischbieth was seemingly persuaded by Italy's claims to the right to land and territory in the context of immigration restrictions into the United States (and we might add, in relation to Australia) and was provided evidence of slavery in Abyssinia mobilised by Italy and earlier by the Anti-Slavery Society in London in defence of the civilising influence of Europe upon a fellow (non-European) member of the League. However, Rischbieth was also an activist within liberal humanitarian networks critical of Aboriginal policy in Australia in this same era. Her responses to the crisis in African and League affairs offer some insight into the proximities between settler colonialism in Australia and the ‘race’ issues raised by the annexation of Abyssinia by Italy, and its implications for collective security and global governance.

1935年意大利-阿比西尼亚危机和澳大利亚殖民者殖民主义

通过探讨澳大利亚在1935年对意大利入侵阿比西尼亚的评论中的定居者殖民主义和现代性主题,本文着手将意大利在北非的战争视为国际危机,对澳大利亚关于土著条件,地位和权利的重要叙事具有重要意义澳大利亚的国际声誉。因此,将在有关意大利,现代性,种族和暴力的国际辩论中,解读澳大利亚作为联盟成员的角色和强制性权力。我的案例研究借鉴了贝西·里施比(Bessie Rischbieth)的经历,贝西·里施比(Bessie Rischbieth)是1935年担任澳大利亚国际联盟的候补代表,他观察了正在大会面前进行的阿比西尼亚抗议活动。Rischbieth似乎被意大利说服 在对美国的移民限制的背景下要求拥有土地和领土的权利(相对于澳大利亚,我们可能会增加),并为意大利和较早前反奴隶制协会动员的阿比西尼亚奴隶制提供了证据。伦敦捍卫欧洲对同盟(非欧洲联盟)成员的文明影响。但是,里希比斯还是自由主义人道主义网络中的积极分子,对同一时期的澳大利亚原住民政策提出了批评。她对非洲和联盟事务危机的回应为澳大利亚定居者殖民主义与意大利吞并阿比西尼亚所引发的“种族”问题之间的距离及其对集体安全和全球治理的影响提供了一些见识。(与澳大利亚有关),并为意大利和早期由伦敦反奴隶制协会动员的阿比西尼亚奴隶制提供了证据,以捍卫欧洲对同盟(非欧洲人)成员的文明影响。但是,里希比思还是自由人道主义网络中的积极分子,对同一时期的澳大利亚原住民政策提出了批评。她对非洲和联盟事务危机的回应为澳大利亚定居者殖民主义与意大利吞并阿比西尼亚所引发的“种族”问题之间的距离及其对集体安全和全球治理的影响提供了一些见识。(与澳大利亚有关),并为意大利和早期由伦敦反奴隶制协会动员的阿比西尼亚奴隶制提供了证据,以捍卫欧洲对同盟(非欧洲人)成员的文明影响。但是,里希比思还是自由人道主义网络中的积极分子,对同一时期的澳大利亚原住民政策提出了批评。她对非洲和联盟事务危机的回应为澳大利亚定居者殖民主义与意大利吞并阿比西尼亚所引发的“种族”问题之间的距离及其对集体安全和全球治理的影响提供了一些见识。
