Dancing with Strangers tells the story of what happened between the first British settlers of Australia and the people they found living there. Inga Clendinnen offers a fresh reading of the earliest written sources, the reports, letters, and journals of the first British settlers in Australia. It reconstructs the difficult path to friendship and conciliation pursued by Arthur Phillip and the local leader 'Bennelong' (Baneelon); and then it traces the painful destruction of that hard-won friendship as profound cultural differences asserted themselves."8 a"A distinguished and award-winning historian of the Spanish encounters with Aztec and Maya Indians of sixteenth-century America, Clendinnen's analysis of the early cultural interactions in Australia touched broader themes of recent historical debate: the perception of others, the meanings of culture, and the nature of colonialism and imperialism."--BOOK JACKET. 0aBritishxCultural assimilationzAustralia. 0aEuropeansxCultural assimilationzAustralia. 0aImmigrantszAustraliaxHistory. 0aAboriginal AustralianszNew South WaleszSydney RegionxHistory. 0aNational characteristics, Australian. 0aAustraliaxEmigration and immigrationxHistory. 0aGreat BritainxEmigration and immigrationxHistory. 0aEuropexEmigration and immigrationxHistory. 0aAustraliaxColonization. 0aAustraliaxRace relations. 0aAustraliaxHistoryy1788-1851.413Table of contentsuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0511/2005011523.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0632/2005011523-d.html
