Eye Contact: Photographing Indigenous Australians (Objects/Histories)

"Jane Lydon's meticulous investigation of the role of photography in the cross-cultural engagement that took place at Coranderrk from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century unfolds with a narrative drive. The community at Coranderrk comes alive. We care about the residents, how they have been represented in successive periods, and how their descendants now use the photographs to reclaim the past and construct their own narratives."-Roslyn Poignant, author ofProfessional Savages: Captive Lives and Western SpectacleJane Lydon is the author of 'Eye Contact: Photographing Indigenous Australians (Objects/Histories)', published 2006 under ISBN 9780822335597 and ISBN 082233559X.
