SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"In Kay Anderson's book, she argues that British colonial encounters in Australia from the late 1700s with the apparently unimproved condition of the Australian Aborigine, viewed against an understanding of 'humanity' of the time (i.e. as characterised by separation from nature), precipitated a crisis in existing ideas of what it meant to be human. This argument will be necessary reading for all scholars and upper-level students interested in the history and theories of 'race', critical human geography, anthropology and Australian and environmental studies."--Jacket.
