Isbn: 9780521659987 - double vision: art histories and colonial histories in the pacific (12 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Taking as its departure point Bernard Smith's classic study, European Vision and the South Pacific (1960), Double Vision explores the ambivalences of European perceptions of the Pacific and juxtaposes them with the indigenous visual cultures that challenge western assumptions about art and representation.
