THE FIRST WAVE : EXPLORING EARLY COASTAL CONTACT HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA
The First Wave : Exploring early coastal contact history in Australia
ISBN: 9781743056158
Publication Date: 20 June 2019
The
European maritime explorers who first visited the bays and beaches of Australia
brought with them diverse assumptions about the inhabitants of the country,
most of them based on sketchy or non-existent knowledge, contemporary theories
like the idea of the noble savage, and an automatic belief in the superiority
of European civilisation. Mutual misunderstanding was almost universal, whether
it resulted in violence or apparently friendly transactions.
Written
for a general audience, The First Wave brings together a variety of
contributions from thought-provoking writers, including both original research
and creative work. Our contributors explore the dynamics of these early
encounters, from Indigenous cosmological perspectives and European history of
ideas, from representations in art and literature to the role of animals, food
and fire in mediating first contact encounters, and Indigenous agency in
exploration and shipwrecks.
The First Wave includes poetry by Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal poet Ali Cobby Eckermann, fiction by Miles Franklin award-winning Noongar author Kim Scott and Danielle Clode, and an account of the arrival of Christian missionaries in the Torres Strait Islands by Torres Strait political leader George Mye.
