  Whether in the form of warfare, forced migration, or social prejudice, Australia's sense of nationhood was born from experiences of violence. This book probes this brutal legacy through case studies that range from the colonial frontier to modern domestic spaces, exploring empathy, isolation, and Australians' imagined place in the world.
