Unsettled Places (Paperback)

Paperback. Those who founded and inhabited the cities and towns of colonial Australia tried to erase the traces of prior Aboriginal ownership as they strove to mark out symbolic borders between 'settled' and 'unsettled' places. In Unsettled Places George Morgan shows how urban Indigenous Australians resisted the idea that they should abandon their culture and community and have contributed as much to the development of contemporary Aboriginal culture and politics as have those in the bush. Those who founded and inhabited the cities and towns of colonial Australia tried to erase the traces of prior Aboriginal ownership as they strove to mark out symbolic borders between 'settled' and 'unsettled' places.
