At the same time, some settlers attempted to understand Indigenous society rather than destroy it, while others incorporated a romanticized view of Natives into a radical critique of European society, & others still empathized with Natives as fellow victims of imperialism. These essays investigate the extent to which the condition of being Irish & Scottish affected settlers' attitudes to Indigenous peoples, & examine the political, social, religious, cultural, & economic dimensions of their interactions. 

Presenting a variety of viewpoints, the editors reach the provocative conclusion that the Scottish & Irish origins of settlers were less important in determining attitudes & behaviour than were the specific circumstances in which those settlers found themselves at different times & places in North America, Australia & New Zealand.
