Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-19 00:00:00 Lorraine Corvino This is the most tragically neglected book I can think of. Beautifully written, it explores the history of exploration and colonialism in Australia by examining representations of the landscape from the journals and maps of Captain Cook to the bureaucratic renderings of the Australian state. More than any other book I've read, it illuminates the nature of colonialism in general by showing us the specificities of settler colonialism. Representations of the Australian landscape had first to erase the presence of the Aborigines and then to render it as "home." Carter's brilliant depiction of what he calls the "spatial history" of Australia taught me not only about Australia's settler colonialism but also, by contrast, much about other forms of imperialism. I am dumbfounded by the fact that this book has received so little attention in studies of colonialism, and that it is out of print.
