Lying between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Australia served as a crossroads for trade and migration across the British Empire. Australia's settler colonies were not only subject to British immigration but were also the destination of emigration from Asia and 'Asia Minor' on terms of both permanent settlement and fixed indenture. Amanda Nettelbeck argues that these unique patterns shaped nineteenth-century debates about the relationship of the settler colonies to a porous empire. She explores how intersecting concerns around race and mobility - two of the most enduring concerns of nineteenth-century governance - changed the terms of British subjecthood and informed the possibilities of imagined colonial citizenship. European mobility may have fuelled the invasive spread of settler colonialism and its notion of transposed 'Britishness', but non-European forms of mobility also influenced the terms on which new colonial identities could be made.

'Unsettled Subjects shows brilliantly just how differently Australian history is being written today. In place of the imperial and national histories of old, we have here a deft exploration of citizenship, belonging, and racial exclusion set in a very wide framework indeed. Students of Australian colonial history and specialist historians of race, colonialism, and empire alike will enjoy this book.' Ann Curthoys, Australian National University
