In Aboriginal-Colonial Exchanges in New South Wales, 1800-1835, Annemarie McLaren re-tells key elements of the foundational story of Australia: the meeting between Indigenous people and colonists and the entangled world that resulted. She does so through a nuanced and peopled narrative account that is novel in its focus on tracing objects and its deep readings of people and episodes. With fresh attention on Indigenous perspectives, its claims about the extent of diplomacy and negotiation, and its vivid, engaging style, Aboriginal-Colonial Exchanges in New South Wales, 1800-1835 will appeal to non-specialist readers as well as a global academic community in the fields of history and empire, literary critics, Indigenous studies scholars, cultural anthropologists, students at a tertiary level, and art historians, archivists, and those working in collecting institutions more broadly such as museums, libraries, and galleries.
