Amanda Nettelbeck explores how policies designed to protect the
civil rights of indigenous peoples across the British Empire were
entwined with reforming them as governable colonial subjects. The
nineteenth-century policy of 'Aboriginal protection' has usually
been seen as a fleeting initiative of imperial humanitarianism, yet
it sat within a larger set of legally empowered policies for
regulating new or newly-mobile colonised peoples. Protection
policies drew colonised peoples within the embrace of the law,
managed colonial labour needs, and set conditions on mobility.
Within this comparative frame, Nettelbeck traces how the imperative
to protect indigenous rights represented more than an obligation to
mitigate the impacts of colonialism and dispossession. It carried a
far-reaching agenda of legal reform that arose from the need to
manage colonised peoples in an Empire where the demands of humane
governance jostled with colonial growth.
