The creation story I used to subscribe to, the one in which hard-working people came here and settled the land, now jars. Weirdly, even the lawn looks different. The form of things just won’t settle.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo writes Richard Shaw in his third book examining colonisation. Both of his previous works have been warmly welcomed by readers, and this third volume of powerful essays, with its wide lens, will not disappoint.
