Carol L. Higham is a visiting professor of history at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte.
Drawing on more than eighty sets of private papers, the publications of nine mission societies, and nearly a hundred fictional and non-fictional works by missionaries and their families, Higham sufficiently demonstrates how representations of Aboriginal peoples were crafted by missionaries, being little influenced by denomination, personality, or the uniqueness of the people among whom they worked.
