Omschrijving
The Enlightenment begot a panoply of ideas, of which the notion of social progress is one of the most salient. It informed not only the way Europeans saw themselves, but also how they viewed indigenous people of their empires. This book describes how this theory influenced the civilising mission in early Australia.
Ilya Lazarev holds a PhD in History from the University of Melbourne, and an MA in International Relations from Ritsumeikan University, where he researched Russo-Japanese economic cooperation.
