Van Diemen's Land – An Aboriginal History | Murray Johnson & Ian McFarlane | 2015 [NEW – SC]

Murray Johnson and Ian McFarlane's detailed history of Aboriginal Tasmania — covering more than 35,000 years of Aboriginal presence on the island from before its separation from mainland Australia through European contact, colonisation, the Black War, and the forced exile of the surviving Aboriginal population to Flinders Island.

At 453 indexed pages, this is the most comprehensive scholarly treatment of Aboriginal Tasmanian history in a single volume — examining the key issues and themes systematically, from the archaeological and anthropological evidence for deep prehistory through to the devastating impact of European settlement and its aftermath.

An essential reference for anyone studying Tasmanian Aboriginal history alongside the primary sources in Friendly Mission, the historiographical debate in The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, and the more recent scholarship in Musquito and Levee, Line and Martial Law.
