Anti-Imperialism and International Solidarity in Central Australia 1980–2000

This article provides an account of the activities of the peace movement in Central Australia in the 1980s and 1990s, combining the authors’ recollections of their experiences in this movement with material from a range of archival and secondary sources. Our aim is to highlight the anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist dimension of campaigns against Pine Gap and other US bases in the Asia-Pacific region and the solidarity that this movement sought to build with Indigenous and colonised peoples in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
