AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In February 2016 we lost one of the most unique intellectuals the country has ever created. Patrick Wolfe was a historian, anthropologist, astute observer, political and environmental activist, and author, and not necessarily in that order. He was also a brilliant friend, a kindly mentor and superb host, an elegant raconteur and unsurpassed conversationalist (both humorous and serious). He was an unselfconscious dancer and above all an adventurous traveller. I knew Patrick for over twenty-five years, first encountering him as my doctoral supervisor, a role he excelled in, and then he morphed into supporter, referee and above all friend and confidant. While Patrick was remarkable as a man, as a scholar he was a constant source of inspiration. Politically engaged and meaningfully potent, Patrick’s legacy is not to be understated.'  (Introduction)
