Description

Body Trade exposes myths surrounding the trade in heads, cannibalism, captive white women, the display of indigenous people in fairs and circuses, the stolen generations, the 'comfort' women and the making of the exotic/erotic body. This lively contribution to postcolonial studies examines the subjugated and captive body as a central construct in feminist theory, postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis and narrativity. Published by Routledge, this compendium of essays offers rigorous scholarly analysis of how bodies were commodified, displayed and constructed through colonial encounters in the Pacific region. The book challenges dominant historical narratives and brings together diverse perspectives on the intersection of race, gender, sexuality and power in colonial and postcolonial contexts.

Key Features

Body Trade brings together multiple essays examining the commodification and display of indigenous and captive bodies throughout Pacific colonial history.

This Routledge publication addresses myths and realities of head trading, cannibalism and the exotic body in colonial discourse and practice.

The book engages with feminist theory, postcolonial theory and psychoanalysis to analyse how captive bodies were constructed and exploited.

Body Trade covers the stolen generations, 'comfort' women and the circulation of indigenous people through fairs and circuses as historical case studies.
