Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Tiny mark on right foredge. Inscribed by author. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Now enclosed in protective cover. Underlining in pencil. The colonial practice of rationing goods to Aboriginal people has been neglected in the study of Australian frontiers. This book argues that much of the colonial experience in Central Australia can be understood by seeing rationing as a fundamental, though flexible, instrument of colonial government. Rationing was the material basis for a variety of colonial ventures: scientific, evangelical, pastoral and the post-war program of assimilation. Combining history and anthropology in a cultural study of rationing, this book develops a new narrative of the colonisation of Arrernte, Warlpiri and Pitjantjatjara peoples.
