I'm not Australian, but I've always been interested in Australian history, so I decided to give this book a shot when I saw that it was published by a great independent publisher and was book of the year for The Age (an Australian newspaper) and won the Tasmania Book Prize. I’m glad I did. It’s clearly written, extensively researched, and aims to tell a story much bigger than just the founding of Melbourne.Boyce’s goal in this book is to describe the moment that Australia shifted from a policy of controlled, concentrated settlement to a policy of encouraging relatively free and open growth of its frontier. The founding of Melbourne is emblematic of this shift because it began it. The first people who settled the city did so illegally, and it was the government’s decision to sanction their actions that basically opened Australia’s frontier. For Boyce, the founding of Melbourne is a way to examine the entire history of conquest of Aboriginal Australia.Boyce has two main messages about this conquest: first, he argues that it was a pretty terrible business — one that was violent, brutal, and devastatingly unfair to aboriginal people. He wants to emphasize this because (apparently) recent histories of Australia have attempted to look for signs of indigenous agency and cross-cultural blending in frontier Australia. Boyce reminds us that searching for these things is an admirable goal, but that we should not overestimate aboriginal power or resistance in the course of this search. Secondly, Boyce lays responsibility for conquest at the feet of the government: It was government policy that created the frontier rush by sanctioning it. By tacitly endorsing settlement, the government made it safe for capital (mostly in the form of sheep) to be invested in the frontier. This accelerated the rush. If, he argues, the the frontier was pushed forward by less organized forces, aboriginal people would have faced a more equitable situation.I enjoyed reading this book. It is clearly and lucidly written, and Boyce has a good eye for historical detail and quotes copiously from primary sources. He also responds to the work of other authors, so you get a sense of where he is positioned in the network of scholars who write about Australian history. He also works through earlier authors and carefully discusses what is credible and what is not in earlier historiography. All of this is delivered in short chapters and well-wrought sentences that make it easy to work through.That said, this book IS a detailed history of the settlement of Port Phillip in the 1830s. If you have never been the Victoria, or haven’t encountered this history before, you may get lost in the middle chapters. Here, the detailed cast of characters and their political agendas are analyzed with aplomb. Its good history, but if you are looking for the bigger picture, then it might not be for you.In sum, anyone interested in the early history of Melbourne who wants a book that zooms out to the big picture will enjoy this well-written, carefully researched, and passionately argued volume. I highly recommend it.
Good coverage of Melbourne settlement, especially in relation to fate of indigenous inhabitants. But like many non fiction books tends to be a bit repetitive . Tends to favour generalist overview with very little personal detail. Should be read by all Australians none the less. Interesting insight in-bedded [never made explicit] in this tale how/why Melbourne is so socially/culturally different from Sydney
1835 is one of the most interesting, easy to read and digest history books. Well referenced and seemingly well balanced account of life and politics in early Melbourne. Lots of facts I wasn't aware of on the founding of Melbourne . Some very colourful and conniving individuals shaping our settlement. I found it interesting that the course of the Yarra was altered to suit the builders. Those developers were at it even then!!!
Surprising amount of historical detail; engaging and intriguing content. Even a foreigner like myself will enjoy the reading...
Compulsory curriculum for all Australian students, commentary refreshing and a real alternative to humbug history more akin to a white Australia policy. Thank you James Boyce and congratulations on a brilliant Book.
Having spent several nice days in beautiful Melbourne in 1943, I was given a nice lesson on how that city and surrounding environment got started, and learned a lot, and would have apprecciated the city more!
We do well to look at the land as our early inhabitants saw it, and learn to respect its history.
1835 - the year of Melbourne's foundation. James Boyce has produced an excellent and very readable history on the events surrounding the founding of this place for a village - that became a city. Boyce delves into the role of governments in the founding, supposedly opposed but in actuality providing more than tacit support - `assertive inaction' from Hobart, Sydney playing catch up and then seduced by the mountains of cash, and the Imperial Government in London initially opposed, but eventually rolled by an unholy alliance of vested interests and evangelicals.This land was of course already the home of a substantial indigenous population - and they were devastated by the speed of occupation and overwhelming numbers of British/European settlers. Boyce poses many questions and an alternative outcome if governments had exercised the control that was well within their power - the outcome for the `Aboriginal Victorians', becoming trespassers in their own land, was not the foregone or inevitable conclusion that governments tried to rationalise. The book covers similar territory to Richard Broome's Aboriginal Australians - but this dark and unfortunate past is a story that needs to be told and remembered. And true understanding and appreciation of this city comes from knowing the history of the founding year and the aftermath. James Boyce has presented this history in a bold and thoughtful manner which challenges many of the past assumptions and foundation myths - a very interesting read.
