Body Trade: Captivity, Cannibalism and Colonialism in the Pacific
Barbara Creed, Jeanette Hoorn
This book uses the concept of body trade to bring together the many inter-related ways in which the indigenous body has been marked and exploited by colonial practices. The various chapters address issues of racism, sexism and post-coloniality in relation to a range of Pacific nations such as Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Fiji, the Marquesas Islands, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Korea.
Body Trade is the first book to theorise the body in relation to the colonial histories of Australia and the Pacific. Its themes include: cannibalism and the nineteenth-century trade in heads in the Pacific; the holding of indigenous women by white colonisers; mythic tales of the real/imaginary capture of white women by black others; the touring and display of native peoples in circuses throughout Europe and America; and the representation of the colonised/captive body in literature, photography, painting and film.
