Aboriginal Art and Australian Society

Hope and Disenchantment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This unique study tracks the way the Aboriginal art phenomenon has mediated Indigenous/non-indigenous relations in Australia. It illuminates the utopian and dystopian currents of thought that have arisen in relation to the art, and the contradictory social and political aspirations to which it has been anchored in public culture.
