Yet how did the forms of violence perpetrated in these four corners of the world compare? Did the oppression and exploitation of colonized peoples constitute a new form of violence? Or was it the same that Europeans had always used against conquered peoples?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, four experts specializing in four different regions of the world come together to interrogate the violence committed against Indigenous peoples between 1780 and 1820. Showing how violence and massacre were a tool at the disposal of the colonizer, and often used to subjugate unruly populations, they examine the changing nature of warfare and killing from both a European and Indigenous perspective. \u003ci\u003eEmpires of Violence\u003c\/i\u003e shows how race, othering and fear were maintained and buoyed by violence, in spite of prevailing discourses on humanitarianism, civilization and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip Dwyer \u003c\/b\u003eis Emeritus Professor of History at University of Newcastle, Australia, and former Director of the Centre for the History of Violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBarbara Alice Mann \u003c\/b\u003eis Emeritus Professor of Humanities in the Jesup Scott Honors College at the University of Toledo, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNigel Penn \u003c\/b\u003eis Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLyndall Ryan \u003c\/b\u003ewas Emeritus Professor of History at University of Newcastle, Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 October 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350538634\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e344\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.72\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53976189370508,"sku":"9781350538634","price":26.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_2c7d2dbb-163a-49db-9b44-ba8dc4131510.jpg?v=1787715071","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350538634","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
