Today, however, such\u0026amp;nbsp;images represent a rich cultural heritage for descendants, who\u0026amp;nbsp;see them in distinctive and positive ways. Calling the shots brings\u0026amp;nbsp;together researchers who are using this rich archive to explore\u0026amp;nbsp;Aboriginal history, to identify relatives, and to reclaim culture. It\u0026amp;nbsp;reverses the colonial gaze to focus on the interactions between\u0026amp;nbsp;photographer and Indigenous people - and the living meanings the\u0026amp;nbsp;photos have today. The result is a fresh perspective on Australia's\u0026amp;nbsp;past, and on present-day Indigenous identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The volume provides an unprecedented platform for Aboriginal Australians to voice their perspectives about photography and present their own research and\/or photographic collections ... as a\u0026amp;nbsp;reader\/viewer, you cannot but marvel at the palpable connection between the photographer and the photographed.' -Marianne Riphagen, Oceania, vol. 85, issue 1, 2015\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861498024094,"sku":"ADS-9781922059598","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922059598.jpg?v=1779252896","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922059598","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
