Bøker utgitt av AUSTRALIAN SCHOLARLY PUB

This book closely examines the conflict in New Zealand in 1820-1859 by the recently British-colonized eastern-seaboard Australia (the strongly established colony of New South Wales), in the context of British, French, and American colonial expansion in the Pacific.

The early European explorers of Australia, from the early 1600s to the mid-1800s, narrated the bewilderment, misunderstandings, affection and hostility that arose in their encounters with the Indigenous peoples. Their reports are most revealing and are closely examined.
