Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 252 pp. Paperback large octavo, very good condition, maps, figures, tables, minor edgewear corner tips, newspaper clipping fixed inside rear cover. Noel (N. G.) Butlin presents a concept of a pre-European Aboriginal economy. He closely analyses the processes which allowed economic control of a country to pass, after more than 60,000 years in Aboriginal hands, into European hands within 60 years of settlement. Professor Butlin claims that it was not until 1850 that combined black and white production exceeded the 'value' of black production in 1788, prior to British colonisation. The book covers 60,000 years from the migration of Australia's first peoples from South-east Asia to the arrival of European settlers - and the subsequent disintegration of traditional life and the decimation of the Aboriginal population. His research in prehistory, oceanography, climatology, demography, geomorphology and anthropology has produced a new and revealing perspective on early Aboriginal economic history.

But that is actually a very small part of his story.

132. Ivison, Duncan (2002). Postcolonial Liberalism (1st ed). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP). 214 pp. Paperback trade, very good condition, minor edgewear, old price marks. Duncan Ivison presents a compelling account of the challenges to liberal political theory by claims to cultural and political autonomy and land rights made by indigenous peoples today. Written in Australia, this book has a focus on Australian Aborigines. Public debate between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples has been often mired in mutual recrimination and misunderstanding. This experience is not unique to Australia. Attempts to present a larger picture within which to consider these questions, beyond the technicalities of legal doctrine and the bureaucratic imperatives of public policy. What is distinctive about this book is the middle way it charts between separatism, on the one hand, and assimilation, on the other. These two options present a false dichotomy as to what might constitute a genuinely postcolonial liberal society. ISBN/ASIN: 0521527511. Our Book No: 30432. $30 AUD.

Mark McKenna provides an award-winning history of reconciliation efforts between non-indigenous (settler) and indigenous Australians.

He uses case histories at this location, and the Eden-Monaro area more generally, as a springboard for discussing reconciliation more broadly, such as the role of place in indigenous belief systems. But the most important message is that settlers (and some indigenous people) have largely forgotten about the troubled history of indigenous dispossession.

Sydney: Simon & Schuster. 320 pp. Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white & colour photos centre spread, few small toned spots, minor edgewear. In 1838, eleven convicts and former convicts were put on trial for the brutal murder of 28 Aboriginal men, women and children at Myall Creek in New South Wales. The trial created an enormous amount of controversy because it was unknown for Europeans to be charged with the murder of Aborigines. The prosecutor was the Attorney General of New South Wales, John Plunkett. This was his greatest test, as it pitted his forensic brilliance and his belief in equality before the law against the combined forces of the free settlers, the squatters, the military, the emancipists, the newspapers, and even the convict population. Some of perpetrator’s were hanged. The author, Mark Tedeschi, a senior lawyer, also brilliantly describes the social setting in the 1830s and 1840s. ISBN/ASIN: 9781925533484.
