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.

201872 pages containing a 5 page article on Sir Francis Drake. Merchant, pirate and hero of the Armada, Sir Francis Drake was no mere man of his time. As Sam Willis argues, Drake defined the era It is one of the great storeys of British history and, sadly, one that sensible historians routinely disparage: that, as his nation faced existential peril at the hands of its mortal enemy, Sir Francis Drake (c.1540-1596) chose first to finish the game he was playing. The tale is well known, but bears retelling.
