Project Details
Description
This project critically examines encounters between travellers and Aboriginal people throughout Australia in the first half of the nineteenth century. It examines how these encounters affected the Western travellers' engagement with Victorian anthropological thought and provoked criticism of British imperialism. Aboriginal history will benefit from a more complex picture of nineteenth-century ideas about Aborigines. I will highlight diverse critiques of settler-colonialism which were not limited to Christian or humanitarian concerns.
