Introduction by James Boyce

 

Dancing with Strangers is Inga Clendinnens seminal account of the moment in January 1788 when the First Fleet arrived in Sydney Harbour and a thousand British men and women, some of them convicts and some of them free, encountered the Australians living there.

˜These people mixed with ours, wrote a British observer after landfall, ˜and all hands danced together. What followed would shape relations between the peoples for the next two centuries.
