This book explores some of the many ways in which the Aboriginal people have been seen by Europeans and their Australian descendants.
From first contact to the present day, Aborigines have been obsereved, recorded, reflected upon, moralised over and theorised about by Europeans - explorers, settlers, missionaries, scientists, artists, photographers, administrators - according to a variety of often unacknowledged hopes, wishes, fears and beliefs.
These way of seeing often tell us as much about the Europeans as about the people they observed. They are part of a response within which lay the seeds of great and continuing tragedy.
This book brings together for the first time the work of researchers in the fields of prehistory, anthropology, linguistics, literature, art history and photographs. These essays, and the many illustrations which accompany them, explore a theme still too little understood two centuries after white settlement.
This 216 page softcover is illustrated with black and white photographs. There are some light cover bumps, a barely discernible crease to front cover and light fading to spine. Internally it is in a very good, tight, clean condition. A fascinating read at a great price!
