This work analyzes the politics of anthropological knowledge from

critical perspective that alters existing understandings of colonialism.

At the same time, it produces insights into the history of

anthropology. Organized around an historical reconstruction of the great

anthropological controversy over doctrines of virgin birth, the book

argues that the allegation a great deal about European colonial

discourse and little if anything about indigenous beliefs. By means of

an Australian example, the book shows not only that the alleged

ignorance was an artifact of the anthropological theory that produced

it, but also that the anthropology was an artifact of the

anthropological theory that produced it, but also that the anthropology concerned has been closely tied into both the historical dispossession

and the continuing oppression of native peoples. The author explores the

links between metropolitan anthropological theory and local colonial

politics from the 19th century up to the present, settler colonialism,

and the ideological and sexual regimes that characterize it.

Reviews for Settler Colonialism

'They make great bedtime stories for pre-school children and have easy-to-read storylines. What sets the books apart, however, is the great photos of Pat, Jess and pals. Great value.' -- OK magazine, 30th March 2001
