Excerpt: Drawing on the insights provided by scholarship on colonial biopolitics and
queer Indigenous studies, and building on the idea of queer studies as a “subjectless”
critique that has “no fixed political referent” (Eng et al. 3), this article considers
how Tikera—and the archive of nineteenth-century settler fiction from Australia and
New Zealand more generally—positions Indigenous, mixed-race, and minority
peoples as queer to heteronormative settler colonial regimes.
