Deep History: Country and Sovereignty by McGrath A; Huggins J [eds] For Aboriginal people, the past is the present. Competing histories form and transform the lands, peoples and nations of Oceania, from the Pacific Islands, New Guinea and Aotearoa/New Zealand to Australia. In nations impacted by colonialism, such questions are particularly pertinent. First Nations peoples have long made history, living on their Country far longer than the colonial invaders. In Deep History: Country and Sovereignty leading historians and thinkers explore Indigenous histories of caring for places and people over millennia.
