The book explores the founding of South Australia in 1836, highlighting the British government's intention to adopt a more humane approach towards Aboriginal people compared to previous settlements. It examines the colony's Proclamation, which promised legal protections and privileges for Aboriginal individuals as British subjects. The narrative questions whether colonial governments were truly capable of delivering on these promises, delving into themes of colonialism, justice, and the complexities of Aboriginal rights during this period.
