Abstract
Australia in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was often the scene of conflict, as Europeans seized the land and its resources, and its original owners fought back. The extent of conflict and the degree of violence are matters of much controversy.This book, based on a forum held at the National Museum of Australia, presents a series of essays by leading contributors to the debate. The different historical and political perspectives make a major contribution to the study of cross-cultural relations in Australia's past and provide valuable background for anyone who wishes to understand relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians today.
