This reprint - originally published by Quintus Publishing - brings
together essays by leading Australian and international historians
in an analysis of the monumental Friendly Mission: The Tasmanian
Journals and Papers of George Augustus Robinson 1829-1834, edited
by N.J.B. Plomley and republished in 2008. Until this book,
Friendly Mission has rarely been considered in a context beyond the
immediacy of "Van Diemen's Land" (the original European name for
Tasmania). Yet, George Augustus Robinson's diverse writings
constitute a body of work that typically has one set of meanings
for local readers, and another for those outside its sphere of
production. Robinson's texts are exemplary of the ways in which
colonial texts circulated around what Alan Lester, Professor of
Historical Geography at the University of Sussex, has called
'imperial networks.' Reading Robinson, while remaining cognizant of
local resonances, extends Friendly Mission from parochial
particularity and situates it within international contexts, both
in terms of contemporary accounts of colonial/settler contact,
conflict with indigenes, and current scholarship analyzing this
material.
