(362 p.)cill.d29 cm  aThe British Museum's collection is pre-eminent among early collections from Melanesia, and the 20,000 items it comprises are core to understanding the cultures of the western Pacific. The extraordinary art styles represented, from groups such as New Guinea, New Ireland and the Solomon Islands and relating to ancestors, family and clan, houses, feasting and festivals, for instance, are of interest not only in themselves but also for the way they have influenced European artists since the nineteenth century. This book surveys and responds to the collection from the point of view not only of the anthropologist but also of the people responsible for its creation, with contributions from a wide range of international scholars, anthropologists, indigenous peoples and artists, and illustrated with up to 300 colour images of objects and contextual photographs. This is the first time this important collection has been documented - the book is not only a visual feast but also a key reference work  aFrançois WadratMagic stones in traditional kanak society  aHannah IvorytEmma Hadfield : among the natives of tje Loyalty group  aJulie AdamstEchoes of the past : images of objects on the Loyalty Islands  aRaymond AmmanntConvict flutes and kanak identity  aTate LefevretFibre skirts and dance battles  313318301aArt primitif311932474yMélanésie  313318301aArt Kanak311932474yMélanésie  313318967aCulture matérielle311932474yMélanésie  315813301aMélanésiexCivilisation  a704.049 9  aBoltonbLissant  aThomasbNicholasf(1960-....)  aBonshekbElisabeth 3c20161011aFRbMO
