Provenance

Where it came from

This scholarly volume documents the intersection of colonial expansion and linguistic preservation in 19th-century New South Wales. It focuses on the collaborative effort between Lancelot Threlkeld, an English missionary, and Biraban, a leader and traditional custodian of the Awabakal people. The text examines the translation of biblical scriptures into the Awabakal language, which served as a complex attempt to facilitate religious instruction during a period of intense cultural displacement and conflict.

Hilary M. Carey, a prominent historian of religion, analyzes these translations as significant ethnographic artifacts that highlight the intellectual agency of indigenous collaborators. The work is regarded as a vital contribution to Australian colonial history, providing a detailed look at how linguistic exchange was utilized as a tool of the mission movement, while simultaneously preserving a record of a language that was under profound threat during the colonial era.
