A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This extraordinary selection of objects showcases the beauty and knowledge embodied in works of art and everyday life from Indigenous Australia. Published to accompany the first major UK exhibition on Indigenous Australia, this ground breaking new publication explores the profound impact and legacy of colonialism, the nature of collecting and the changing meaning of objects now in the collection of the British Museum. The encounters between Indigenous peoples and colonists were complex and nuanced, and contemporary Australian society is still dealing with this legacy, trying to transform or reconcile different worldviews.

Revue de presse :

'It is certainly worth investing in the fully illustrated and densely informative - and when it comes to the more brutal facts, unflinching - catalogue' --The Times

'Excellent... a primer of Indigenous history that is worth having in your home or school' --Aboriginal Art Directory
