Description: "In Facing Empire, Kate Fullagar and Michael A. McDonnell have collected a series of essays that focus on indigenous experiences in the revolutionary age of the late eighteenth century, looking at indigenous interactions with the British Empire particularly. The collection aims to view indigenous peoples as vital and dynamic actors across an increasingly global stage and think about what this new world of European-driven imperialism might have looked like to them. The contributors' mission is not only to write histories that include indigenous perspectives but to present the imperial past with indigenous peoples as the main subjects. This collection covers the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Australia, and West and South Africa, as well as North America"--
