Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lost Tasmanian Race New Holland, Dow Australia. In hair, in nose, in limb they differed. Both races were wandering hunters, never cultivating land, nor taming bird or beast for food supply. The chase gave no chance of settled habitation or form of government. The wooden pointed spear stayed the kangaroo in its leap, and the whirling stick brought down the winged fowl. The friction of two pieces of wood produced fire, whose embers roasted the food. Without houses, without culinary utensils, without garments, save the raw skin, they had no homes, and needed none.

This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 1803-1876, the Passing of the Tasmanian Race One on the crania of the natives of Victoria) is intimately concerned with tonight's oration. This treatise describes briefly the racial characteristics of a series of crania drawn to scale. It may be said to be the first of that long series of works upon Australian anthropology for which the Mel bourne School of Medicine has been responsible. The fortunate chance that took Sir Baldwin Spencer with the Horn expedition to Central Australia in 1894 changed the whole trend of his life's work.(3' This was to bring him into contact with F. J. Gillen and inaugurate their lifelong friendship and collaboration. It is no exaggeration to say that the publishing of their work on the natives of Central Australia was the beginning of a new era in anthropology. The coming of R. J. A. Berry in-1904 brought new life to the anatomy school. After a reorganiza tion of this department he turned to the systematic study of the osteology of the aborigines of south eastern Australia. To obtain material he enlisted the aid of his students. To us Tasmanians he stressed the importance of obtaining crania and other remains before the opportunity should be lost for all time. A foray by three of us on a burial ground on my father's estate at Oyster Cove was most successful, the disintegrated remains of some twelve bodies being discovered. Other crania in Tasmanian collections, hitherto undescribed, were also located and later fully examined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Last Man written by Tom Lawson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little more than seventy years after the British settled Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1803, the indigenous community had been virtually wiped out. Yet this genocide at the hands of the British is virtually forgotten today. The Last Man is the first book specifically to explore the role of the British government and wider British society in this genocide. It positions the destruction as a consequence of British policy, and ideology in the region. Tom Lawson shows how Britain practised cultural destruction and then came to terms with and evaded its genocidal imperial past. Although the introduction of European diseases undoubtedly contributed to the decline in the indigenous population, Lawson shows that the British government supported what was effectively the ethnic cleansing of Tasmania - particularly in the period of martial law in 1828-1832. By 1835 the vast majority of the surviving indigenous community had been deported to Flinders Island, where the British government took a keen interest in the attempt to transform them into Christians and Englishmen in a campaign of cultural genocide. Lawson also illustrates the ways in which the destruction of indigenous Tasmanians was reflected in British culture - both at the time and since - and how it came to play a key part in forging particular versions of British imperial identity. Laments for the lost Tasmanians were a common theme in literary and museum culture, and the mistaken assumption that Tasmanians were doomed to complete extinction was an important part of the emerging science of human origins. By exploring the memory of destruction, The Last Man provides the first comprehensive picture of the British role in the destruction of the Tasmanian Aboriginal population.
Download or read book Dark Vanishings written by Patrick Brantlinger and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Brantlinger here examines the commonly held nineteenth-century view that all "primitive" or "savage" races around the world were doomed sooner or later to extinction. Warlike propensities and presumed cannibalism were regarded as simultaneously noble and suicidal, accelerants of the downfall of other races after contact with white civilization. Brantlinger finds at the heart of this belief the stereotype of the self-exterminating savage, or the view that "savagery" is a sufficient explanation for the ultimate disappearance of "savages" from the grand theater of world history. Humanitarians, according to Brantlinger, saw the problem in the same terms of inevitability (or doom) as did scientists such as Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley as well as propagandists for empire such as Charles Wentworth Dilke and James Anthony Froude. Brantlinger analyzes the Irish Famine in the context of ideas and theories about primitive races in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. He shows that by the end of the nineteenth century, especially through the influence of the eugenics movement, extinction discourse was ironically applied to "the great white race" in various apocalyptic formulations. With the rise of fascism and Nazism, and with the gradual renewal of aboriginal populations in some parts of the world, by the 1930s the stereotypic idea of "fatal impact" began to unravel, as did also various more general forms of race-based thinking and of social Darwinism.
