Abstract

This introduction sets out several of the key themes for this special issue, including new ways of thinking about histories of humanitarianism and empire, and humanitarian campaigns concerned with Aboriginal conditions in settler colonial Australia from the mid-19th to the present day. This special issue brings new work together investigating two high points in imperial and international humanitarianism – the Abolition and League of Nations eras – and poses the question of how and why these pasts still echo in relation to the representation of ‘new slaveries’ in the present.
