An Indigenous Australian Dictionary of Biography (IADB) is a new Australian Research Council–funded research project I am leading with Malcolm Allbrook and Tom Griffiths, which seeks to redress the long-standing underrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) by doubling the number of Indigenous biographies within the online ADB, and producing a stand-alone published volume of Indigenous short biographies. Yet, rather than just producing 190 new entries, our aim is also to rethink how Indigenous biographies can be conceptualised, being attentive to how and why Indigenous biography is distinctive, and how Indigenous people, who have long been marginalised and excluded from the national imaginary, can now be better accommodated with the ADB, and hence be better incorporated within the national story.

How do dictionaries of national biography fit into the context of transnational historical studies? This question is particularly apposite at a time when the very idea of transnationalism is being challenged by the resurgence of atavistic and frequently intolerant forms of nationalism, exemplified in varying degrees by the British withdrawal from the European Union, the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America, the politics of leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán, and the rise of extreme right-wing parties in western Europe. As the post–World War II liberal order threatens to unravel, it is perhaps worthwhile remembering that there is nationalism, and then there is nationalism. ‘When nationalism stunts the growth, and embitters the generous spirit which alone can produce generous and enduring fruits of literature’, wrote the Irish Canadian politician and poet Thomas D’Arcy McGee in 1867, ‘then it becomes a curse rather than a gain to the people among whom it may find favour, and to every other people who may have relations with such a bigoted, one-sided nationality.’1 The kind of nationalism that McGee endorsed had been expressed by his mentor, Charles Gavan Duffy, more than two decades earlier:
国家传记词典如何适应跨国历史研究的背景?这个问题在跨国主义的概念正受到返老返老和经常不容忍的民族主义形式的挑战的时候尤为恰当，这种挑战在不同程度上体现在英国退出欧盟、唐纳德·特朗普当选美利坚合众国总统、弗拉基米尔·普京、塔伊普·埃尔多安和维克多·Orbán等领导人的政治以及西欧极右翼政党的崛起。随着二战后的自由秩序面临瓦解的威胁，我们或许有必要记住，先是民族主义，然后是民族主义。爱尔兰裔加拿大政治家兼诗人托马斯·达西·麦基(Thomas D ' arcy McGee)在1867年写道:“当民族主义阻碍了文学的发展，损害了能够产生慷慨而持久的文学成果的慷慨精神时，那么，对于那些可能受到它青睐的人，以及可能与这种偏执、单方面的民族有关系的其他所有人来说，它就成了一种诅咒，而不是收获。”麦基所支持的那种民族主义，早在20多年前，他的导师查尔斯·加文·达菲就表达过:

I must begin with an admission. As a historian I have long held a scepticism about the place of biography in historical studies. My sense of the role of the historian is to present the larger patterns, to paint and explain the huge social forces, the determinative cultural and political ideas, and the economic developments which forged the world of the past. Individual lives are simply the flotsam and jetsam floating above these massive historical waves. Even major political leaders or seminal thinkers need to be explained against wider social and cultural currents. In this view of the historian’s mission, dictionaries of national biography become extremely useful reference works, to check the details of particular lives. They are useful for case studies, for providing the telling example. They do not contribute in themselves to the larger generalisations about nations or eras.
