2021réf. 135510Melbourne: Melbourne University Press 2021. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Melbourne Melbourne University Press 2021 first edition. Octavo viii 264 pages with numerous illustrations plus 4 pages of colour plates. Colour-pictorial card covers; a fine copy. Signed by Peter Sutton on the title page. 'An authoritative study of pre-colonial Australia that dismantles and reframes popular narratives of First Nations land management and food production. Australians' understanding of Aboriginal society prior to the British invasion from 1788 has been transformed since the publication of Bruce Pascoe's "Dark Emu" in 2014. It argued that classical Aboriginal society was more sophisticated than Australians had been led to believe because it resembled more closely the farming communities of Europe. In "Farmers or Hunter-gatherers" Peter Sutton and Keryn Walshe ask why Australians have been so receptive to the notion that farming represents an advance from hunting and gathering. Drawing on the knowledge of Aboriginal elders previously not included within this discussion and decades of anthropological scholarship Sutton and Walshe provide extensive evidence to support their argument that classical Aboriginal society was a hunter-gatherer society and as sophisticated as the traditional European farming methods. "Farmers or Hunter-gatherers" asks Australians to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal society and culture' Melbourne University Press website.

réf. B9783319815282Paperback / softback. New. Linking two defining narratives of the twentieth century Sutton's comparative study of Hong Kong and Cyprus - where two of the empire's most effective communist parties operated - examines how British colonial policy-makers took to cultural and ideological battlegrounds to fight the anti-colonial imperialism of their communist enemies in the Cold War. The structure and intentional nature of the British colonial system grants unprecedented access to British perceptions and strategies which sought to balance constructive socio-political investments with regressive and self-defeating repression neither of which Britain could afford in the Cold War conflict of empires. paperback
