This unique publication will provide a wide-ranging and intellectually challenging reference to indigenous Australian art, covering documented archaeologically traditions, art styles of the early contact period and the nineteenth century, and the development of the remarkably diverse contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art practices that have attracted so much attention in recent years. The Companion will draw upon much original research on art and culture in remote Aboriginal communities, and on the emergence of Aboriginal art in urban institutions, markets, and exhibitions. Academics, graduates, and general readers will find concise and authoritative analysis on specific topics and regional traditions, unavailable even in specialist databases. Distinguished indigenous and non-indigenous scholars have been commissioned to write on individuals, artistic traditions, and historical shifts. The Companion will address more fully than any previous book important regional variations and historical developments in relation to colonial occupation and white Australian society over time. The Companion's primary emphasis is upon visual art, though survey entries on indigenous literature, theatre, and music among other areas provide a wider context.
Essays, 'boxes' and 'voices' will be commissioned from well-established and emerging indigenous and non-indigenous writers. The presence of key historical figures such as Oodgeroo Noonucal and Kevin Gilbert will be heard through excerpts from previously published material or the use of archival sources made available for the first time.
The visual component in the Companion is not viewed as simply an adjunct to or illustration of the written text, but is seen to be vitally important to its rationale. Visuality has contributed to the growing critical acclaim and widespread popularity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art nationally and internationally. Therefore extensive illustrations in colour and in black and white will be included to not only offer a critical understanding of objects and events but to acknowledge the key role visuality plays in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. The 400 illustrations will be extensively captioned and some of the entries will be read as visual storyboards, equally as important as the essays. Complementing this focus on visuality, there will be additional reference material: maps, diagrams, chronologies providing a comprehensive listing of the major exhibitions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, locally and oveseas and guides to further reading.
From Library Journal： Kleinert (a postdoctoral fellow in the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, Australian National Univ.) and Neale (head of the Gallery of Aboriginal Australia, National Museum of Australia) have assembled an excellent guide to Australia's Aboriginal arts and culture. They divide their work into two parts. Part 1 acts as a small encyclopedia, arranged topically and providing a variety of overview essays. Its 23 sections, covering a vast range of subjects and geographical areas, each consist of numerous short essays (some of which are reprinted speeches and interviews) touching upon the section's broad topic. The topics include cross-cultural exchanges, gender, religion, literature, music, architecture, and performance. Part 2 acts as a subject dictionary, arranged alphabetically and defining terms, organizations, and people. The book is well illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs; secondary bibliographies at the end of most of the essays cite very current resources, an invaluable addition to an already worthwhile reference. Cross references are found throughout, and regional maps are located at the end of the volume. Unfortunately, the index to Part 1 is found directly following that part, not where readers will expect to find it. And because many of the essayists are artists, architects, and other creators, some of the essays are more personal (and perhaps less objective) than desirable for a reference book. But these are minor points. This useful and unique resource is highly recommended for all academic and large public libraries with an interest in the arts or anthropology.

Review： `the careful arrangement and linkage of information does what a Companion should; it gives the reader a sense of exploring a vibrant Aboriginal landscape in company with a series of highly articulate guides.' TLS 04/01/2002
