Aboriginal historian Barry Corr examines settler colonialism in new book

Original: “Settler colonialism” is an enduring “structure” Aboriginal historian Barry Corr vividly investigates colonisation – but

Aboriginal historian Barry Corr has published "Surveying the Wild Abyss", a history of the colonial invasion of the Nepean–Hawkesbury region of New South Wales. The book frames settler colonialism as an enduring structure and vividly investigates the colonisation of the area, though reviews suggest its treatment of politics is less convincing than its historical analysis.

Why now: A new book by an Aboriginal historian reexamining Australia's colonial history is drawing discussion and reviews.
