Reviews

'Lisa Ford and Tim Rowse deftly preside over a work which examines disparate interactions between apparently opposed resilient formations of incomers and indigenes.' - Richard S. Hill, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand for Australian Historical Studies (2013)

'Lisa Ford and Tim Rowse deftly preside over a work which examines disparate interactions between apparently opposed resilient formations of incomers and indigenes. In its case studies, revisionist impulses are taken along innovative pathways, sometimes in provocative directions.' - Richard S. Hill, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand for Australian Historical Studies (2013) 'The most significant contribution of this welcome volume is that it addresses the question of how to study indigenous peoples within the framework of the global phenomenon of settler colonialism. Moreover, the book does not stop at raising the question, in the manner of Gayatri Spivak's 'Can the subaltern speak?'. Rather it goes on to investigate the colonized indigenous communities' interaction with the invading colonizers. Some of the contributions offer structural analyses of this interaction, while others bring to the fore indigenous subjectivity; not a few of them do both. Crucially, the volume as a whole is a healthy combination of epistemological and ontological contemplation of the colonized on the one hand and documented empirical study of their actual history, economy, and anthropology on the other.' - Gabriel Piterberg, UCLA, USA, for Journal of Global History
