This project will investigate historical moments when miscegenation was seen as a means of removing indigenous identity in Australia and the United States. This research will answer recent calls for transnational histories which explore the intimate side of colonisation. My hypothesis is that the presence of a large population of African American people in the United States made white Americans comparatively more apprehensive about miscegenation than white Australians. My findings will contribute to ongoing debates about genocidal practice in settler societies by questioning prevailing assumptions about the benign nature of the process of indigenous assimilation.

该项目将调查澳大利亚和美国异族通婚被视为消除土著身份的一种手段的历史时刻。 这项研究将回应最近对探索殖民的亲密一面的跨国历史的呼吁。我的假设是，美国有大量非洲裔美国人，这使得美国白人比澳大利亚白人更担心异族通婚。我的研究结果将通过质疑有关土著同化过程良性本质的普遍假设，为关于定居者社会中种族灭绝行为的持续辩论做出贡献。
