Governing Natives
Indirect Rule and Settler Colonialism in Australia's North. Studies in Imperialism
Synopsis
In the 1930s, a series of crises transformed relationships between settlers and Aboriginal people in Australia's Northern Territory. By the late 1930s, Australian settlers were coming to understand the Northern Territory as a colonial formation requiring a new form of government. Responding to crises of social reproduction, public power, and legitimacy, they re-thought the scope of settler colonial government by drawing on both the art of indirect rule and on a representational economy of Indigenous elimination to develop a new political dispensation that sought to incorporate and consume Indigenous production and sovereignties. This book locates Aboriginal history within imperial history, situating the settler colonial politics of Indigeneity in a broader governmental context. -- .

What Reviewers Are Saying
'A short review cannot do justice to this innovative, original, and carefully researched study. Silverstein has clearly situated Australian settler colonialism and its practices towards Indigenous people within a wider imperial context.'
