Aboriginal Art and Australian Racial Hegemony Summary

Aboriginal Art and Australian Racial Hegemony: Decolonising Consciousness by Abraham Bradfield (University of Queensland, Australia)

This book explores the complexities of Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations in contemporary Australia.

It unpacks the continuation of a pervasive colonial consciousness within settler-colonial settings, but also provokes readers to confront their own habits of thought and action. Through presenting a reflexive narrative that draws on the authors encounters with Indigenous artists and their artwork, knowledge, stories, and lived experiences, this provocative and insightful work encourages readers to consider what decolonising means to them.

It presents a compelling and relevant argument that calls for a reorientation of dominant discourses fixed within Eurocentric frameworks, whilst also addressing the deep complexities and challenges of living within intercultural settler-colonial settings where different views and perspectives clash and complement one another.
