Drawing on case studies from courtrooms, exhibition culture, newspapers, photography, and popular literature, the book examines the making of bodily 'types' at the intersection of race, gender, class, and stigmatised embodiment. It brings into dialogue representations of Aboriginal cultural brokers and white settler subjects marked as anomalous, revealing both the coercive force and inherent instability of colonial tropes. Original and interdisciplinary, this book makes a significant contribution to Australian history, settler colonial studies, disability history, and the cultural history of embodiment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003ePatricia Kennedy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e is an Australian writer who gained her PhD in Australian History at the University of New South Wales in 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 August 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032282286\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e211\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48006331596940,"sku":"9783032282286","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032282286_9a99a3a0-cd94-42c8-a23c-754a19e26e91.jpg?v=1781089406","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032282286","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
