Those who founded and inhabited the cities
and towns of colonial Australia tried to erase the traces of prior
Aboriginal ownership as they strove to mark out symbolic borders
between ‘settled’ and ‘unsettled’ places.
In Unsettled Places George Morgan shows how urban Indigenous
Australians resisted the idea that they should abandon their culture
and community and have contributed as much to the development
of contemporary Aboriginal culture and politics as have those
in the bush.
