Description: Culture, Knowledge, Property examines representations of Australian and New Zealand Indigenous cultures, identities and rights within legal, historical and anthropological discourses. By reference to case studies on such topics as the definition and interpretation of tattooing in relation to cultural property, Indigenous art, reconciliation, crime and violence, and Aboriginal sacred secrets and the Hindmarsh Island affair, Stephen Pritchard considers issues relating to the definition and portrayal of culture, knowledge and property, as well as their implications for more general discussions of postcolonialism, indigeneity and cultural politics.
