Governing natives: Indirect rule and settler colonialism in Australia's north

In The 1930s, A Series Of Crises Transformed Relationships Between Settlers And Aboriginal People In Australia's Northern Territory. By The Late 1930s, Australian Settlers Were Coming To Understand The Northern Territory As A Colonial Formation Requiring A New Form Of Government. Responding To Crises Of Social Reproduction, Public Power, And Legitimacy, They Re-thought The Scope Of Settler Colonial Government By Drawing On Both The Art Of Indirect Rule And On A Representational Economy Of Indigenous Elimination To Develop A New Political Dispensation That Sought To Incorporate And Consume Indigenous Production And Sovereignties. This Book Locates Aboriginal History Within Imperial History, Situating The Settler Colonial Politics Of Indigeneity In A Broader Governmental Context. 1.
