Yet how did the forms of violence perpetrated in these four corners of the world compare? Did the oppression and exploitation of colonised peoples constitute a new form of violence? Or was it the same that Europeans had always used against conquered peoples?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, four experts specialising in four different regions of the world come together to interrogate the violence committed against Indigenous peoples between 1780 and 1820. Showing how violence and massacre were a tool at the disposal of the coloniser, and often used to subjugate unruly populations, they examine the changing nature of warfare and killing from both a European and Indigenous perspective. \u003cem\u003eEmpires of Violence\u003c\/em\u003e shows how race, othering and fear were maintained and buoyed by violence, in spite of prevailing discourses on humanitarianism, civilisation and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076547690732,"sku":"9781350538634","price":38.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/bfb74af188c8dd6423eb3e229e331fca.jpg?v=1765220902"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/nigel-penn.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
