Description

Explore the complex relationship between colonial powers and Indigenous cultures in Art in the Time of Colony. This scholarly work by Routledge challenges the idea that Indigenous verbal and visual languages had little impact on how scientific, legal, and artistic objects were classified in nineteenth-century museums and metropolises. Rather than viewing colonized locals as passive collectors, this book examines their active role in the historical process. By developing the concept of anachronism to analyze colonial material, the text provides detailed biographies for five key objects. These objects serve to exemplify and reflect the tensions found throughout nineteenth-century history. Through a focused analysis of specific language notations, this book offers a deep look at how objects embody the history of empire. It is an essential resource for those studying museum collections, colonial history, and the development of the modern world between 1650 and 2000.
