Introduction: colonial history, postcolonial theory and the 'Aboriginal problem' in colonial Victoria -- 1. 'Tickpen', 'Boro Boro': Aboriginal economic engagements in early Melbourne -- 2. 'Thus have been preserved numerous interesting facts that would otherwise have been lost': colonisation, protection and William Thomas's contribution to The Aborigines of Victoria -- 3. The 1869 Aborigines Protection Act: vernacular ethnography and the governance of Aboriginal subjects -- 4. 'They formed a little family as it were': The Board for the Protection of Aborigines (1875-1883) -- 5. Managing mission life, 1869-1886 -- 6. Photography, authenticity and Victoria's Aborigines Protection Act (1886) -- 7. Women, authority and power on Ramahyuck Mission, Victoria, 1880-1910 -- 8. How different was Victoria? Aboriginal 'protection' in a comparative context -- 9. The 'minutes of Evidence' project: creating collaborative fields of engagement with the past, present and future.
This collection represents a serious re-examination of existing work on the Aboriginal history of nineteenth-century Victoria, deploying the insights of post-colonial thought to wrench open the inner workings of territorial expropriation and its historically tenacious variability. Russell at Monash Uni and Boucher at Macquarie Uni.
