SURVIVING NEW ENGLAND

A History of Aboriginal Resistance and Resilience Through the First Forty Years of the Colonial Apocalypse.

Surviving New England tells the history of how the first people had thrived on the so-called New England Tableland since the first sunrise.

It is their story which this book sets out to reclaim, co-opting the colonial archive and subverting the colonial narrative, deconstructing their story in order to uncover our own.
