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.
