Explorers and co. in interior New Guine, 1872-1928Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology. With a focus on Indigenous brokers, such as guides, assistants and mediators, it highlights the ways in which nineteenth-century exploration in Australia and New Guinea was a collective and socially complex enterprise. Many of the authors provide biographically rich studies that carefully examine and speculate about Indigenous brokers' motivations, commitments and desires. All of the chapters in the collection are attentive to the specific local circumstances as well as broader colonial contexts in which exploration and encounters occurred. Colonial exploration continues, all too often, to be rendered as heroic narratives of solitary, intrepid explorers and adventurers. This edited collection contributes to scholarship that is challenging that persistent mythology.Aboriginal history monograph seriesFirst contact (Anthropology)AustraliaAboriginal AustraliansBiographyAboriginal AustraliansSocial conditionsDiscoveries in geographyHistory19th centuryAustraliaDiscovery and explorationaustraliacolonial historyindigenous peopleexplorationBennelongEthnic groups in EuropeNew GuineaTrobriand IslandsFirst contact (Anthropology)Aboriginal AustraliansAboriginal AustraliansSocial conditions.Discoveries in geographyHistory613.69Shellam Tiffanyedt1366722Shellam Tiffany1979-,Nugent MariaKonishi ShinoCadzow AllisonMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910137044603321Brokers and boundaries3389328UNINA
