enables the acts of assimilation and colonization – not to mention purification and eradication –

Clearly, the ‘edge’ (cf. Jacobs, 1996) of the meeting between the modern colonial imperative
and the colonised ‘periphery’ has manifested differently in the geographically distant drylands
that form the focus of this chapter. We distinguish here between ‘Old World’ drylands of the
Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe, and a pastoral ‘New World’ of the Americas, Australia
and southern Africa (cf. Behnke, 1983). In the former, pastoralism has existed for millennia 200-595-002-011
and, in relative terms, modern (European) colonialism was based on resource extraction and
labour administration as opposed to large-scale European settlement. In the pastoral ‘New
World’ of the Americas, Australia and southern Africa, European settlers unrolled a cattle
ranching system and a cowboy culture harking back to medieval Spain during the 11th and 12th
centuries, when the Christian Reconquista frontier forced back the Moors (Behnke, 1983, citing
Bishko, 1952). European colonists displaced earlier inhabitants across the vast part of the ‘New
World’ drylands throug h genocidal dispossession at the colonising frontier (17th century in 200-595-002-011
South America, 19th century in North America, Australia and South Africa), and by eventual
incorporation of indigenes as landless herders, labourers and servants. In these drylands a
European settler imperative focusing on commercial production of introduced livestock species
and breeds generated the continual requirement for new land, becoming associated with the
extreme violence and ‘genocidal moment’ of the frontier
