The book traces the legacy of the child artistsof the Stolen Generations incarcerated at the Carrolup Native Settlement in the 1940s and 1950s. Many coincidences wereresponsible for bringing the new generation of Carrolup artworkto broader audiences,especially the (re)discovery of the lost body of Carrolup artwork in the United States in 2005.What might have remained a regional story has in past years become the locus of an international conversation, not only about the prodigious work of the children but also about colonialism, cultural genocide,repatriation and the protection of children's intellectual property.The conditions under which the artwork was made and its international response, invite a reexamination of how the production of hybrid forms of representation became both resistance and adaptation to colonization under totalizing conditions. Theauthor examines the children and their descendants within the politics, the artworld, the economy and the culture of Australia, past and present, and how they and their artwork were ontologically conceived in acoloinialist country.
