Disputed Territories – Land, Culture, and Identity in Settler Societies

David S. Trigger is an anthropologist and author of Whitefella Comin': Aboriginal Responses to Colonialism in Northern Australia. Gareth Griffiths is a literary scholar whose books include The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-colonial Literatures (with Bill Ashcroft and Helen Tiffin), and his recent volume, African Literatures in English: East and West. Both based for some years at The University of Western Australia, they have debated, and sought to make productive, the cross-disciplinary tensions between ethnographic, historical and textualist approaches to cultural analysis.

'This is an excellent collection which substantially advances the field of comparative studies of land, culture and identity in settler societies.' - Terence Ranger, Rhodes Professor of Race Relations, Oxford University
