Brokering in Colonial Exploration: Biographies, Geographies and Histories, Tiffany Shellam , Maria Nugent , Shino Konishi , Allison Cadzow , single work criticism
'The history of exploration has often been thought of as a heroic drama in which the explorer is the principal, sometimes exclusive, protagonist and narrator. This edited volume – along with a companion volume Indigenous Intermediaries: New Perspectives on Exploration Archives – treats exploration as a collective effort and experience involving a variety of people from across social strata and cultures coming together, sometimes for a sustained time, at others only briefly, in various kinds of relationships and interactions. ...'
 (p. 1-13)
Bennelong and Gogy : Strategic Brokers in Colonial New South Wales, Shino Konishi , single work biography
'On the road between Parramatta and Prospect a meeting took place on Monday last for the purpose of inflicting punishment on a native well known at the above settlements by the name of Goguey ... His crime was defensible upon custom immemorial, but so likewise was his extraordinary mode of arraignment an event consequent upon the former. ...'
 (p. 15-37)
Aboriginal Guides in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Mark Dunn , single work biography
'...This chapter explores the role of Aboriginal guides in the Hunter Valley between 1818 and 1830, covering the closure of the penal station at Newcastle and establishment of free settlement in the valley.

'...

The chapter will briefly discuss historiographical material on women’s agency in expeditions and how women’s presence in exploration journals has been obscured or ignored in histories of exploration. ...'
 (p. 85-118)
Bobby Roberts : Intermediary and Outlaw of Western Australia’s South Coast, Clint Bracknell , single work bibliography
'... The story of Bobby Roberts may be viewed as an example of such Aboriginal agency exercised in the early colonial context. A Noongar man from the south coast region of Western Australia, Bobby assisted colonial interests as a guide and, later, a ‘native constable’. However, colonial authorities also knew him as a brazen criminal. ...'
