Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. *WINNER of the Prime Minister's Literary Awards 2020: Non-Fiction*This book explores the experiences of Indigenous Australians who participated in Australian exploration enterprises in the early nineteenth century. These Indigenous travellers, often referred to as 'guide's', 'native aides', or 'intermediaries' have already been cast in a variety of ways by historians: earlier historiographies represented them as passive side-players in European heroic efforts of Discovery, while scholarship in the 1980s, led by Henry Reynolds, re-cast these individuals as 'black pioneers'. Historians now acknowledge that Aborigines 'provided information about the customs and languages of contiguous tribes, and acted as diplomats and couriers arranging in advance for the safe passage of European parties'. More recently, Indigenous scholars Keith Vincent Smith and Lynnette Russell describe such Aboriginal travellers as being entrepreneurial 'agents of their own destiny'. While historiography has made up some ground in this area Aboriginal motivations in exploring parties, while difficult to discern, are often obscured or ignored under the title 'guide' or 'intermediary'. Despite the different ways in which they have been cast, the mobility of these travellers, their motivations for travel and experience of it have not been thoroughly analysed. Some recent studies have begun to open up this narrative, revealing instead the ways in which colonisation enabled and encouraged entrepreneurial mobility, bringing about 'new patterns of mobility for colonised peoples'. *WINNER of the Prime Minister's Literary Awards 2020: Non-Fiction* Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. In 1826, the British set up a garrison on the edges of an Aboriginal world at King George's Sound, the site of present-day Albany, Western Australia, to deter the French from occupying the area. The British newcomers and the area's Indigenous inhabitants, the King Ya-nup, came to share a small space, forcing both cultures to improvise to communicate and interact with one another. Within this sphere, associations and friendships were formed that were as surprising as they were unique. This ethnographic history narrates episodes of the developing relationships between British and Aboriginal individuals at King George's Sound. These stories transcend the common 'friendly' or 'violent' encounters, unearthing instead how and why particular King Ya-nup engaged with the British world, utilising the new presence to seeming advantage.…

Paper Wraps. 1st Edition. 1st ed., octavo, wraps, colour plates, b&w illus, bibliography, index, pp xiii, 27. Light wear to the front edge and corners. Very good condition. A history of story-making about the experiences of Migeo, Boongaree and Bundle, three Indigeneous Australians who were inmediaries on board maritime expeditions in the early nineteenth century. These men travelled to the archipelagos of the north-west of Western Australia, where they became central figures in encounters between the crew and local Indigenous groups on shore. Indigenous travellers, often referred to as 'guides', 'native aides', or 'intermediaries' have already been cast in a variety of ways by historians: earlier historiographies represented them as passive side-players in European heroic efforts of Discovery, while scholarship in the 1980s, led by Henry Reynolds, re-cast these individuals as 'black pioneers'.

Condición: Nuevo. A conmemoración do douscentos aniversario do nacemento de Rosendo Salvado (Tui, 1 de marzo de 1814) constitúe unha inmellorable ocasión para profundar nun aspecto clave da súa vida e obra; de feito, a cerna de toda a súa extraordinaria andaina: o seu pensamento e práctica indixenistas. Foi o seu un compromiso co mundo aborixe que desbotaba radicalmente a brutal perspectiva etnocéntrica e racista habitual na época do Imperio británico; a saber: aquela que consideraba os indíxenas miserentos corpos «sen alma», refugallos dunha «raza destinada a extinguirse» e, mesmo, seres da caste «dos orangutáns». O fincapé feito na súa extraordinaria dimensión misioneira ou a desnortada atención á súa lendaria importación do eucalipto a Galicia agacharon a cerna mesma do seu proxecto vital, os seus ímprobos esforzos a prol da autonomía persoal e política dos aborixes australianos como seres humanos dotados de dereitos individuais e colectivos e, xa que logo, de futuro cívico. Labor que desenvolveu en todo momento en aberta belixerancia contra discursos e prácticas establecidos tanto da man do protestantismo como do catolicismo da época, discorrendo ben lonxe dos modos dos evanxelistas do Imperio.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology. With a focus on Indigenous brokers, such as guides, assistants and mediators, it highlights the ways in which nineteenth-century exploration in Australia and New Guinea was a collective and socially complex enterprise. Many of the authors provide biographically rich studies that carefully examine and speculate about Indigenous brokers' motivations, commitments and desires. All of the chapters in the collection are attentive to the specific local circumstances as well as broader colonial contexts in which exploration and encounters occurred.…
