Indigenous participation in Australian economies : Historical and anthropological perspectives

Indigenous participation in Australia's colonial and post-colonial economies has been shaped by diverse historical, economic, and social factors. This volume presents new theoretical analyses and empirical data on how Indigenous Australians engaged with settler capitalism, property concepts on the frontier, and various industries such as pastoralism, mining, and agriculture. It also examines specific case studies, including Torres Strait Islanders in mainland economies, doggers in the Western Desert, bean and pea picking in New South Wales, and relations with uranium mining in Kakadu National Park. The research contributes critical perspectives to current development discussions, offering insights into the complex dynamics of Indigenous economic participation and its implications for historical and contemporary contexts.
