Funded Activity Summary

Dispossession, history and restorative justice: a comparative study of three settler societies. By comparing how the property rights and sovereignty of aboriginal people were treated in British colonies of settlement in Australia, New Zealand and Canada in the nineteenth century, how this process was understood and registered in stories narrated by contemporaries and their descendants, and how the settler societies of Australia, New Zealand and Canada have tried to deal with the consequences of their histories in the last thirty or so years, this project will shed new light on Australian history and contribute to ongoing debate about this country might best tackle the work of restorative justice.
