Dirk Moses, "Genocide and Settler Society: Frontier Violence and Stolen Indigenous Children in Australian History (War and Genocide)"

From their arrival in 1788, British settlers in Australia seemed determined to eliminate Aboriginal societies. Their dedication came from the pathologies they brought with them, but the violence, murder, kidnapping, and cultural genocide continued through the 1960s. In 13 essays contributors describe the convictions of the settlers and the systems

This anthology represents an invaluable contribution to the study of radical violence in colonial Australia and stands in its own left as an historical document reflecting the current state of the discipline on the question of genocide. It offers an impressive breadth of discussion and does not attempt to impose an artificial unity in an essentially divided field. At a more practical level, it is immensely useful as a teaching text. Moses has done the scholarly community a service by foregrounding the important question of genocide in Australian history in such a thoughtful, open-ended way. It will have provided an invaluable service should it engender further informed debate about the nature of genocide, the nature of colonial empires and the nature of the Australian past.A" * Journal of Australian Studies In this book Dirk Moses recognizes the enormity of the task before him. By establishing a conceptual framework for Australian historians to consider genocide as an integral part of modernity and white settler colonialism, he has begun the process. This is a singular achievement.A" * Holocaust and Genocide Studies - editor and contributor A. Dirk Moses has compiled an excellent set of first-rate essays all of which shed some insight on the book's themes - The chapters - are well written, well edited, and very thought provoking - This book has a great deal to commend it. Each essay is well written and manages to present a point of view without being dogmatic - A wide variety of scholars will find this book worthwhile reading.A" * Itinerario - often new, probing and rich examinations of the takeover of a continent by white Anglos and the long-term impact - the book is replete with detailed and meticulously sourced information on the scope, scale and persistence of the cruelty and violence involved - actual and structural- over a 200-year period...there is a great deal in this excellent volume that demands grounds for deep reflection on how Australia came to be what it is.A" * Patterns of Prejudice The value of this stimulating collection of historical essays is that it points to both the usefulness of a transnational framework for analysing race thinking and the necessity for close attention to the historical specificity of particular moments and places.
