(362 p.) ill. 29 cm The 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 François Wadra Magic stones in traditional kanak society Hannah Ivory Emma Hadfield : among the natives of tje Loyalty group Julie Adams Echoes of the past : images of objects on the Loyalty Islands Raymond Ammann Convict flutes and kanak identity Tate Lefevre Fibre skirts and dance battles 13318301 Art primitif 11932474 Mélanésie 13318301 Art Kanak 11932474 Mélanésie 13318967 Culture matérielle 11932474 Mélanésie 15813301 Mélanésie Civilisation 704.049 9 Bolton Lissant Thomas Nicholas (1960-....)
