To the Islands White Australia and the Malay

To the Islands traces the persistence across two centuries of a regional idea expressed variously as Australasia, the Malay Archipelago and 'the Islands.' The book explores the manifestations of this idea in trade, travel, investment and diplomatic interactions between Australia and its island neighbors from the early years of British colonization to the present day.

Paul Battersby is senior lecturer in globalization and cultural diversity at RMIT University.
