Too Far Out: An Administrative History of the Ngaanyatjarra Homelands
The Cambridge History of Global Migrations: Migrations, 1800-Present
Volume II presents an authoritative overview of the various continuities and changes in migration and globalization from the 1800s to the present day. Despite revolutionary changes in communication technologies, the growing accessibility of long-distance travel, and globalization across major economies, the rise of nation-states empowered immigration regulation and bureaucratic capacities for enforcement that curtailed migration. One major theme …

Mobility, Reciprocal Relationships and Early British Encounters in the North of New Zealand
From the establishment of the European settlement at Port Jackson, Mori travelled to the Australian colonies and beyond. The kidnapping of Tuki and Huru and their forced journey from Muriwhenua to Norfolk Island in 1793 began a process whereby Mori took advantage of new connections and transport and developed connections via overseas travel. 1 Men like Tuki and Huru, as well as other travellers such as Ruatara and Te Pahi, have become well-known …
Archives of Protection
Aboriginal Protectorates operated in the late 1830s and 1840s in the Port Phillip District of New South Wales (later to become the colony of Victoria) in Australia and New Zealand. This article examines a small selection of the extensive archive of Port Phillip and New Zealand Protectorates to illustrate the ways that language and communication work within colonial projects to support and extend colonial authority. Examining language acquisition …
The Old People had Brooms’: Yanyuwa Women, Material Culture and Resistance

Yanyuwa people constitute one nation of the myriad Aboriginal peoples of Australia, with Yanyuwa country being in the southwest Gulf of Carpentaria, in the far north of Australia. In this piece, we explore both the uses of and the meanings associated wit…

Race and Identity in the Tasman World, 1769–1840
British imperial encounters with indigenous cultures created perceptions and stereotypes that still persist today. The initial creation of racial images in relation to violence had particular consequences for land ownership. Standfield examines these differences and how they occurred
