Description
In the 1930s, a series of crises transformed relationships between settlers and Aboriginal people in Australia’s Northern Territory.
By the late 1930s, Australian settlers were coming to understand the Northern Territory as a colonial formation requiring a new form of government.
Responding to crises of social reproduction, public power, and legitimacy, they re-thought the scope of settler colonial government by drawing on both the art of indirect rule and on a representational economy of Indigenous elimination to develop a new political dispensation that sought to incorporate and consume Indigenous production and sovereignties.
This book locates Aboriginal history within imperial history, situating the settler colonial politics of Indigeneity in a broader governmental context. -- .
