The area claimed by the British Empire as Western Australia was
primarily colonized through two major thrusts: the development of
the Swan River Colony to the southwest in 1829, and the 1863
movement of Australian born settlers to colonize the northwest
region. The Western Australian story is overwhelmingly the story of
the spread of market capitalism, a narrative which is at the
foundation of modern western world economy and culture. Due to the
timing of settlement in Western Australia there was a lack of older
infrastructure patterns based on industrial capitalism to evoke
geographical inertia to modify and deform the newer system in many
ways making the systemic patterns which grew out of market
capitalist forces clearer and easier to delineate than in older
settlement areas. However, the struggle between the forces of
market capitalism, settlers and indigenous Australians over space,
labor, physical and economic resources and power relationships are
both unique to place and time and universal in allowing an
understanding of how such complicated regional, interregional and
global forces shape a settler society. Through an examination of
historical records, town layout and architecture, landscape
analysis, excavation data, and material culture analysis, the
author created a nuanced understanding of the social, economic, and
cultural developments that took place during this dynamic period in
Australian history. In examining this complex settlement history,
the author employed several different research methodologies in
parallel, to create a comprehensive understanding of the area. Her
research techniques will be invaluable to researchers struggling to
understand similarly complex sociocultural evolutions throughout
the globe.
