This is a trenchant and controversial study of Australian artistic impressions of Asia since European settlement. Looking at paintings, ceramics, sculptures, novels, poetry, film, television, journalism, and cartoons, Broinowski argues that racist and myopic attitudes towards most things Asian have characterized much of Australian art and the country's broader social and political relations with Asia and the Pacific region.
