Empire and Indigeneity: Histories and Legacies: By Richard Price. Oxford: Routledge, 2021. Pp. 357. A$73.99 paper.

Writing from the "imperial side of the frontier of empire", Price seeks out "echoes" of Indigeneity through their traces in imperial archives (2-3). Their stories provide examples of Price's framing narrative of imperialist humanitarian hopes denied, a narrative that skilfully weaves together trajectories from both New Zealand and the Australian colonies. Social historian Richard Price's previous book, I Making Empire i , provided a nuanced reading of nineteenth-century encounters between British missionaries and officials and their Xhosa interlocutors in South Africa.
