This collection brings together world-leading and emerging scholars
to explore how the concept of "protection" was applied to
Indigenous peoples of Britain's antipodean colonies. Tracing
evolutions in protection from the 1830s until the end of the
nineteenth century, the contributors map the changes and
continuities that marked it as an inherently ambivalent mode of
colonial practice. In doing so, they consider the place of
different historical actors who were involved in the implementation
of protective policy, who served as its intermediaries on the
ground, or who responded as its intended "beneficiaries." These
included metropolitan and colonial administrators, Protectors or
similar agents, government interpreters and church-affiliated
missionaries, settlers with economic investments in the politics of
conciliation, and the Indigenous peoples who were themselves
subjected to colonial policies. Drawing out some of the
interventions and encounters lived out in the name of protection,
the book examines some of the critical roles it played in the
making of colonial relations.
