Troubling Colonial Legacies, Museums, and the Curatorial
2020 || Paperback || Margareta von Oswald e.a. || Leuven University Press

This collection considers where and how anthropo...

On fibre skirts (liku) and female tattooing (veiqia) in nineteenth century Fiji

In nineteenth-century Fiji, beautiful fibre skirts (liku) in a great variety of shapes and colours were lifetime companions for women. First fitted around p...
