Settling the Land
Settling the Land
This chapter examines the settlement of British colonies in Australia from 1788. It examines the ways by which rural Australia became tethered to the Empire and evaluates the role of metropolitan forces in providing the economic rationale for an expanding frontier of White colonization. It investigates the rural agencies of Empire-building in Australia and suggests that it was the loss of centralized, imperial control that brought Australia under the control of the Empire.
Keywords: Australia, British colonies, colonial settlement, rural area, British Empire, White colonization, history
