Edward Duyker
Edward Duyker (born 21 March 1955) is an Australian historian, biographer and author born in Melbourne.〔'Who's Who in Australia'', Crown Content, Melbourne 2011, p. 677-8.〕
Edward Duyker's books include several ethno-histories – ''Tribal Guerrillas'' (1987),〔(''Tribal Guerrillas'' (1987) )〕 ''The Dutch in Australia'' (1987)〔(''The Dutch in Australia'' (1987) )〕 and ''Of the Star and the Key: Mauritius, Mauritians and Australia'' (1988)〔(''Of the Star and the Key: Mauritius, Mauritians and Australia'' (1988) )〕 – and numerous books dealing with early Australian exploration, among them critically acclaimed biographies of Daniel Solander, Marc-Joseph Marion Dufresne, Jacques Labillardière, François Péron and Jules Dumont d'Urville. Much of his work seeks to redress the Anglo-centrism of Australian history and he has made a major contribution to knowledge and understanding of the French voyages to the Indian Ocean and Pacific in the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries.〔Wallace Kirsop, 'Edward Duyker, or the Achievements of Independent Scholarship', ''Explorations'' (Institute for the Study of French-Australian Relations), no. 36, June 2004, pp. 17–18 & Greg Dening, 'Too Many Captain Cooks', ''Australian Book Review'', June/July 2003, pp. 10–11.〕

He is also related to the French painter Félix Lionnet and the writers Guy Lionnet and Francoise Lionnet.〔Duyker, ''Mauritian Heritage'', pp. 63–71,154–57, 295–308, 311–12, 328.〕 He attended St Joseph's School, Malvern, Victoria in the same class as the virtuoso pianist Geoffrey Tozer. He completed his secondary studies at De La Salle College, Malvern. There, under Tim O'Hearn (later Professor and Dean of Students Australian Catholic University), he was one of the first students in Victoria to study Asian history at a secondary level.〔(National Library of Australia Oral History collection, ORAL TRC 3101 & & ORAL TRC 5306 )〕 In 1970 he competed in the Seven Network's It's Academic quiz program and the following year reached the semi-final as an individual contestant in the Australian version of the quiz show Jeopardy!. As an undergraduate at La Trobe University his formative influences were the eminent Australian historian Professor Alan Frost and the Modern Indian historian Don Ferrell.〔'Exploring the explorers', ''Agora'', 2004, p. 48 & 'Multiethnic histories', ''La Trobe University Record'', December 1987, p. 8.〕 As a doctoral candidate at the University of Melbourne (where he also studied Bengali language), he was supervised by the Indian philosopher Sibnarayan Ray. He received his PhD in 1981 for a thesis on the participation of the tribal Santals in the Maoist Naxalite insurgency in India.〔(National Library of Australia Oral History collection, ORAL TRC 3101 & TRC 5306 )〕
