However, connections between the two continents are not new. On the contrary, human contacts pre-date the arrival of the First Fleet to Australia in 1788, and they continued to grow throughout the European colonial period and into the post-colonial era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfrica in Australia\u003c\/em\u003e examines the entire history of Africa-Australia relations through the material culture it left behind. Today, there are tens of thousands of African-born artefacts held in museum collections across Australia, each of which was conveyed to Australia through one of the many networks that have connected the two continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter in this book tells the story of one African-born artefact that is now housed in Australia, and what its journey reveals about the character of Africa-Australia ties. In amalgam, all of this African-born material culture has an extraordinary amount to tell, revealing much that is new for African Studies, about Africa-Australia connections, and in the Australian Story itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47893954199788,"sku":"9781760803421","price":64.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781760803421-africa-in-australia.jpg?v=1783216803","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/africa-in-australia-by-richard-vokes-9781760803421","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
