More about the book
Exploring the intersection of Australian art and Aboriginal culture, the book reveals a complex dialogue that has persisted since settlement, often hidden beneath the surface. McLean contends that the colonizing culture has engaged more deeply with indigenous elements than it acknowledges. By examining artists and their works within their cultural contexts and contemporary theoretical frameworks, the author sheds light on the ongoing struggle for identity in Australia.
