Reviews

The flair and originality of this book lies in its local focus. Furthermore, by examining Indigenous-settler relations on a local level the book offers a critique that is useful in imagining broader frameworks. -- Alice Higgs * <i>Journal of Australian, Canadian & New Zealand Studies, Vol. 1, No. 1</i> *
