About the Book

What can a collection of drawings reveal about their makers? Crayon drawings collected by anthropologists provide an illuminating prism through which to explore how the Warlpiri people of Central Australia have seen their place in the world and have been seen by others. In a lucid style Remembering the Future tracks the return to communities of an important collection, six decades after they were made. Discussions with many people, journeys to places and archival research build a compelling account of the colonial and contemporary circumstances of Warlpiri lives.

She has previously written/published Aboriginal Sydney; Coercive reconciliation, An appreciation of differenceand Culture crisis.

Review :
This will be a very important book that breaks new ground in Aboriginal visual culture Professor Jane Lydon More than an art book, the text constitutes a major insight into the history and current circumstance of the Warlpiri themselvesa fresh reflexive and multiperspectival approach to the analysis of visual representation not found in many art booksit marks a generational change and a new approach to scholarship. Dr Luke Taylor
