brief_description
Brings together a variety of contributions from thought-provoking writers, including both original research and creative work. Explores the dynamics of these early encounters, from Indigenous cosmological perspectives and European history of ideas, from representations in art and literature to the role of animals, food and fire in mediating first contact encounters, and Indigenous agency in exploration and shipwrecks. Mutual misunderstanding was almost universal, whether it resulted in violence or apparently friendly transactions. -- blurb
