‘Football, Race' and Resistance: The Darwin… door Matthew Stephen
This article looks at the formation of the Darwin Football League in 1926 which came about because Aboriginal and other non-white players were excluded from the Northern Territory Football League, after previously being allowed to participate in that league.
This article looks at how Australian Rules football became the battleground for the struggle for greater rights for Darwin's non-European community which was, until 1916, largely excluded from the town's sport. It examines in particular the years 1926-1939 when Australian rules was continually disrupted by issues pertaining to 'colour'. The significance of oral history and personal records in documenting ‘social memory’ is discussed. The author contends this provides a window to this contentious period of Darwin's social history lying at the heart of Darwin's reputation as a multi-racial city.

A very substantial part of this book relates to the history of Indigenous football players, and other players who were not white or European, such as the players of Chinese heritage, in the Northern Territory, especially in Darwin. The second half of the book is predominantly about football, race and racism in the Northern Territory. First written as a Doctoral Thesis, with the same title, at Charles Darwin University in 2009.
This work expands upon articles Matthew Stephen has written about the intersection of race, racism and football in Darwin in particular, but also in other places in the Northern Territory. It’s scope includes Indigenous footballers and other non-white or non-European footballers in the Northern Territory.
