Frontmatter -- Memorial Stone, Myall Creek -- CONTENTS -- Contributors -- Preface -- Map -- Section I: Conceptual and Historical Determinants -- Chapter 1 Genocide and Settler Society in Australian History -- Chapter 2 Colonialism and the Holocaust -- Chapter 3 Genocide and Modernity in Colonial Australia, 1788-1850 -- Chapter 4 “Pigmentia” -- Section II: Frontier Violence -- Chapter 5 Genocide in Tasmania -- Chapter 6 “Plenty Shoot ’Em” -- Chapter 7 Passed Away? -- Chapter 8 Punitive Expeditions and Massacres -- Section III: Stolen Indigenous Children -- Chapter 9 Aboriginal Child Removal and the Question of Genocide, 1900-1940 -- Chapter 10 “Until the Last Drop of Good Blood” -- Chapter 11 “Clearing the Wheat Belt” -- Chapter 12 Governance, not Genocide -- Epilogue -- Chapter 13 Notes on the History of the Aboriginal Population of Australia
Summary: Colonial Genocide has been seen increasingly as a stepping-stone to the European genocides of the twentieth century, yet it remains an under-researched phenomenon. This volume reconstructs instances of Australian genocide and for the first time places them in a global context. Beginning with the arrival of the British in 1788 and extending to the 1960s, the authors identify the moments of radicalization and the escalation of British violence and ethnic engineering aimed at the Indigenous populations, while carefully distinguishing between local massacres, cultural genocide, and genocide itself. These essays reflect a growing concern with the nature of settler society in Australia and in particular with the fate of the tens of thousands of children who were forcibly taken away from their Aboriginal families by state agencies. Long considered a relatively peaceful settlement, Australian society contained many of the pathologies that led to the exterminatory and eugenic policies of twentieth century Europe.
