Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned. Faint mark on right foredge.

In 1826, the British set up a garrison on the edges of an Aboriginal world at King George’s Sound, the site of present-day Albany, Western Australia, to deter the French from occupying the area.

The British newcomers and the area’s Indigenous inhabitants, the King Ya-nup, came to share a small space, forcing both cultures to improvise to communicate and interact with one another. Within this sphere, associations and friendships were formed that were as surprising as they were unique.

This ethnographic history narrates episodes of the developing relationships between British and Aboriginal individuals at King George’s Sound. These stories transcend the common ‘friendly’ or ‘violent’ encounters, unearthing instead how and why particular King Ya-nup engaged with the British world, utilising the new presence to seeming advantage.
