No Deal!: Indigenous Arts and the Politics of Possession (School for Advanced Research Global Indigenous Politics)
A hugely useful resource for anyone interested in Indigenous art, culture, and questions of cultural appropriation and ownership, with some of the leaders in their fields providing valuable and thought-provoking cross-disciplinary perspectives. --Terri Janke, Terri Janke and Company Pty Ltd, Intellectual Property Lawyers, AustraliaOver the last fifty years, Indigenous art movements in Australia, New Zealand, North America, and elsewhere have been vital and potent in unexpected ways. Fresh, up-to-date, engaging, and engaged, No Deal! provides the best guide I have read to the politics of native art. --Nicholas Thomas, Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, CambridgeTressa Berman has brought together new voices to make sense of the often complicated art world that has historically marginalized non-Western voices. Though Indigenous peoples in North America and Australia continue to live under the colonial weight of the West, there is a growing discourse that articulates these weighty circumstances that Berman and the contributors to this volume take charge in formulating and offer new strategies for engaging. --Gerald McMaster, Independent Scholar, USA and Adjunct Curator, Art Gallery of Ontario
