{"product_id":"double-vision-nicholas-thomas-9780521659987","title":"Double Vision: Art Histories and Colonial Histories in the Pacific","description":"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. Double Vision addresses these larger interpretive questions through case studies of the cultures of voyages, colonial art, and indigenous affirmations of identity. It suggests that images and texts can be combined through a new practice of innovative, visually oriented cultural history. This approach yields a fresh understanding of history, colonialism and culture in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Double Vision is a challenging combination of visual and textual inquiry, and its outstanding list of contributors offers a fresh perspective on art and history in the Pacific.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521659981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521659987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.84w x 0.65d","brand":"Nicholas Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190554947839,"sku":"9780521659987","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40d0a1d3-f545-4cd7-a863-84563b77c179.jpg?v=1690871170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/double-vision-nicholas-thomas-9780521659987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
