The Native Races of the Indian Archipelago by George Windsor Earl Pdf

An important work of early New Guinea anthropology, including a whole chapter devoted to the Aborigines of Melville Island, Port Essington (Cobourg Peninsula) and North Australia in general. There are numerous discussions of Australian Aborigines throughout the text, and one of the folding plates gives anthropometric comparisons between North Australian Aborigines and New Guineans. Earl lived at Port Essington for more than ten years, as the settlement grew from a meagre outpost in 1838 up until its abandonment in 1849 and became a widely published expert on the region. The fine full-page lithographs, produced in London, were based on drawings done on the spot by the Dutch artists Van Oort and Van Raalten.

The Native Races of the Indian Archipelago Papuans (Classic Reprint) by George Windsor Earl Pdf

Excerpt from The Native Races of the Indian Archipelago Papuans The study of the Human Race, in its various phases, has become greatly extended since the late Dr. Prichard, the father of Ethnographical Science in this country, commenced his researches into the physical history of mankind. The inaugural essay of the young physician in the year 1808, was expanded into a large volume in 1813, and further researches, prosecuted without intermission during a long and active professional life, extended the work until it became one of the most valuable contributions to modern scientific literature of which any nation can boast. The importance of the science which the learned physiologist has the merit of introducing to this country, is daily becoming more appreciated.

Pygmies & Papuans by A. F. R. Wollaston Pdf

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. From 1910 to 1913 A. F. R. Wollaston took a part in a couple of expeditions in New Guinea, to the Snow Mountains of Netherlands New Guinea. The main aim was to climb the highest mountains there as well as to collect biological and ethnological specimens. There he succeeded in climbing to within 150 m of the summit of the Carstensz Pyramid, at 4884 m the highest peak on the island, and one not summited until 1962. He is commemorated in the names of a bat, a skink (lizard) and a frog from New Guinea. After the second expedition, Wollaston wrote a detailed account of the journey and adventures, but he was strictly careful to give only True Relations and Descriptions of Things.

Imagined Racial Laboratories by Anonim Pdf

Imagined Racial Laboratories reveals the watermarks of science in the dynamics of racialisation in Southeast Asia, during and after the colonial period. Bringing together a set of critical histories of race sciences, it illuminates the racialised dimensions of colony and nation in the region. It demonstrates that racialisation took — and continues to take — mutable and multiple forms that often connect, perhaps more than differentiate, colonial and national periods across a variety of Southeast Asian settings. Thus, imagined races have contributed as much to the invention of modern Southeast Asia as have other fabled imagined communities.

Pygmies & Papuans: The Stone Age To-day in Dutch New Guinea by A. F. R. Wollaston Pdf

This work is an exciting account of the author's thrilling adventures in New Guinea. A. F. R. Wollaston was an English medical doctor, botanist, and explorer. Wollaston decided to spend his life on exploration and natural history. He traveled broadly and wrote books about his travels and work. He includes vivid descriptions of the place, his experiences, and his interactions with the people. Wollaston took part in the BOU Expedition to the Snowy Mountains of Netherlands New Guinea in 1910–11. The primary goal was to climb the highest mountains there and collect biological and ethnological specimens. The expedition was unsuccessful in its chief aim mainly because of the muddling by the Dutch authorities. Later in 1912 and 1913, Wollaston led a second expedition popularly known as the Wollaston Expedition to New Guinea.

Foreign Bodies by Bronwen Douglas,Chris Ballard Pdf

From the 18th century, Oceania became the principal laboratory of raciology for scholars, voyagers, and colonizers alike. By juxtaposing encounters and theory, this magisterial book explores the semantics of human difference in all its emotional, intellectual, religious, and practical dimensions. The argument developed is subtle, engrossing, and gives the paradigm of 'race' its full use value. Foreign Bodies is a model of analysis and erudition from which historians of science and everyone interested in intercultural relations will greatly profit.

Racial Science and Human Diversity in Colonial Indonesia by Fenneke Sysling Pdf

Indonesia is home to diverse peoples who differ from one another in terms of physical appearance as well as social and cultural practices. The way such matters are understood is partly rooted in ideas developed by racial scientists working in the Netherlands Indies beginning in the late nineteenth century, who tried to develop systematic ways to define and identify distinctive races. Their work helped spread the idea that race had a scientific basis in anthropometry and craniology, and was central to people’s identity, but their encounters in the archipelago also challenged their ideas about race. In this new monograph, Fenneke Sysling draws on published works and private papers to describe the way Dutch racial scientists tried to make sense of the human diversity in the Indonesian archipelago. The making of racial knowledge, it contends, cannot be explained solely in terms of internal European intellectual developments. It was "on the ground" that ideas about race were made and unmade with a set of knowledge strategies that did not always combine well. Sysling describes how skulls were assembled through the colonial infrastructure, how measuring sessions were resisted, what role photography and plaster casting played in racial science and shows how these aspects of science in practice were entangled with the Dutch colonial Empire.

Emplacing East Timor by Kisho Tsuchiya Pdf

Emplacing East Timor explores the relationship between the cycle of regime change and that of knowledge production, offering an alternative framework to periodize the history from the 1850s to the 2010s. Kisho Tsuchiya shows that the prevailing perceptions of East Timor have been shaped by large-scale wars, postwar consolidation, and the dominance of foreign observers. The transitions that construct what we know about East Timor have followed the rhythm of devastating violence and regime transformations. Playing a role as well are personal, institutional, and geopolitical interests and the creativity of Timorese and foreign observers. Acknowledging this cycle, Tsuchiya interweaves narrative of crucial events and political movements with an analysis of Timor’s connections to global circulations and historical transitions. He traces key persons and communities that shaped the contour of East Timor—from Portuguese colonial officers to anthropologists, Japanese occupiers to Australian activists, and Timorese poets to revolutionaries. Their experiences and imaginations of (East) Timor have been expressed through scholarly works, secret documents, policy statements, ceremonies, revolutionary songs, and museums. Using multi-archival historical research, the author introduces sources in several languages and provides missing links, including secret documents in Portuguese archives and the National Archives of Timor-Leste, Japanese wartime sources, and Timorese sources in the Archives of Timorese Resistance. Emplacing East Timor skillfully synthesizes nationalism studies and borderland studies, creating a comprehensive approach to modern East Timorese national imaginings, the historical role of territorial borders, and its postcolonial problems.
