A searing indictment of one of history's most overlooked injustices, From Massacres to Mining: The Colonization of Aboriginal Australia chronicles the systematic dispossession, violence, and exploitation inflicted upon the Indigenous peoples of Australia from the earliest days of European settlement through to the modern era of resource extraction. Janine Roberts presents a damning account that connects the brutal massacres of frontier colonialism directly to the ongoing destruction wrought by multinational mining corporations on Aboriginal lands, communities, and sacred sites, arguing that the two are not separate chapters but a single, unbroken continuum of colonial violence. Roberts writes with the conviction of an investigative journalist and the rigour of a social historian, weaving together testimonies, historical records, and on-the-ground reporting to construct an unflinching portrait of a people who have survived genocide only to face a new and equally insidious form of erasure. Published by CIMRA (Colonialism and Indigenous Peoples in Mining Regions Abroad) and War on Want, the book carries an explicitly political mandate, positioning Aboriginal sovereignty and land rights within a broader global struggle against corporate imperialism. It is an urgent, morally charged work that forces the reader to confront the question: when does colonisation truly end?
