About This Item
New York: Random House Inc, 1988. First US Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Type: Hardback First US Edition. Hardcover Book and Jacket in FINE Condition. Archival protective jacket cover. A re-evaluation of the origins of Australia, taking insights from many disciplines --philosophy, city planning, sociology, linguistics, psychoanalysis, and art history, bringing them to bear on the subject of travel, exploration, and the settlement, of Australia. Australian history is a history of traveling--European newcomers were forever on the move. Carter has drawn on reports and diaries of these first colonists and explorers for the drama they record--escaping convicts, pioneers, wandering aborigines with their own authentic histories. It is an account of a nation founding itself, an adventurous discipline of spatial history, of the nature of emptiness, place-names, convict behavior-a remapping of the European settlement of Australia. 384 pages with Chapter Notes and index . 8.75 x 6 inches. 1988, Random House, New York, New York, USA
