1835

'Brilliantly researched and elegantly presented ... Boyce has given us a remarkable insight into the way the land that was used by Indigenous peoples became reinscribed as white property, and how the authorities would use force to defend it as such.' -Arena 'These qualities [too numerous to list here] combine not only to make 1835 an important history, but also to confirm Boyce as an important voice in Australian history.' -Australian Historical Studies 'Boyce continually reminds us of the tragic social and humanitarian consequences of expanding white settlement for the continent's original inhabitants.' -Sun Herald '1835 is the best book on Australian history I have read since Van Diemen's Land. James Boyce is on a roll.' -Good Reading 'Anyone who calls Melbourne home - in fact anyone who calls Australia home - should read this book.' -Peter Mares 'A first-class piece of historical writing. Boyce is a graceful and robust stylist and a fine storyteller.' -Sunday Age 'An eloquent and thought-provoking book.' -Australian Book Review 'A compelling work.' -Melbourne Historical Journal 'Revisionist ... unequivocal ... sobering' -Malcolm Turnbull
