2010br. Benché l'Australia sia stata l'ultimo dei continenti raggiunti dall'espansionismo europeo, vanta una cultura millenaria che negli ultimi due secoli si è trovata a confronto con la storia, la legislazione e i costumi dei "nuovi arrivati". Questo libro racconta in che modo gli europei hanno imposto la propria presenza sul territorio, e descrive come sono stati introdotti lo sviluppo tecnologico e delle istituzioni perché divenissero fondanti nel processo di colonizzazione. Illustra inoltre le difficoltà, e la conseguente frustrazione, incontrate dalla popolazione locale nel tentativo di riconoscersi in tradizioni condivise, mentre all'orizzonte si affacciavano sempre nuovi abitanti. Oggi, però, dal momento in cui possiamo affermare che la colonizzazione ebbe inizio con una vera e propria invasione, gli australiani sembrano essersi riconciliati con il proprio passato, in attesa di nuove sfide per il futuro.
