N2 - In 1939, the Commonwealth of Australia formulated a new policy for 'native administration' which mapped a transition from 'native tribes' to 'citizens', staging a modernising Australia. In this article, I discuss the various processes of subjectivation at each point on the 'long march' of colonial 'progress' or settler colonial elimination. Writing a history of these linked colonial governmentalities casts light on practices of recognition, difference, and the self in the modern world.
