{"product_id":"urbanizing-frontiers-penelope-edmonds-9780774816212","title":"Urbanizing Frontiers: Indigenous Peoples and Settlers in 19th-Century Pacific Rim Cities","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrontiers were not confined to the bush, backwoods, or borderlands. Towns and cities at the farthest reaches of empire were crucial to the settler colonial project. Yet the experiences of Indigenous peoples in these urban frontiers have been overshadowed by triumphant narratives of progress. This book explores the lives of Indigenous peoples and settlers in two Pacific Rim cities - Victoria, British Columbia, and Melbourne, Australia. Built on Indigenous lands and overtaken by gold rushes, these cities emerged between 1835 and 1871 in significantly different locations, yet both became cross-cultural and segregated sites of empire. This innovative study traces how these spaces, and the bodies in them, were transformed, sometimes in violent ways, creating new spaces and new polities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Penelope Edmonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 077481621X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774816212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 173","brand":"Penelope Edmonds","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072755134719,"sku":"9780774816212","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4e113e1-c502-411c-8ae3-eee8d59f8cd1.jpg?v=1685443815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urbanizing-frontiers-penelope-edmonds-9780774816212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
