We Don't Do Dots

Více o knize

The book delves into the complex relationship between perceptions of Aboriginal culture and art, particularly in the context of Barkindji people in Wilcannia, New South Wales. It investigates why some Australians claim Aboriginal people lack culture while acknowledging their artistic contributions. Through extensive ethnographic analysis, it reveals how concepts of art and culture are manipulated in everyday racism, and highlights how Aboriginal individuals use these ideas to assert their identities and challenge oppressive narratives.
