Description: "Animal Nation traces the complex relationships between animals and humans in Australia. It starts with the colonial period, when unfamiliar native animals were hunted almost to extinction and replaced with preferred species, and brings us full circle to the present when native species are protected above all others. It demonstrates that different categories of animals have been used to legitimate or marginalise different human groups in colonial and postcolonial Australia."--BOOK JACKET.
