| Summary |
"This book provides an interpretation of the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific from the earliest settlements to the present. Usually viewed in isolation, these societies are covered here in a single account, in which the authors show how the peoples of the region constructed their own identities and influenced those of their neighbours." "By broadening the focus to the regional level, this volume develops analyses of economic, social and political history which transcend national boundaries. The result is a work which both describes the aspirations of European settlers and reveals how the dispossessed and marginalized indigenous peoples negotiated their own lives as best they could. The authors demonstrate that both these stories are the strands of a single history."--BOOK JACKET |
