Colour plates, 180pp, signed by the author, index, paperback. "Australia has had a long and dynamic cultural relationship with the area broadly known as 'Asia'. In this fascinating book, Neil Manton considers the development of Australia's cultural relations policy for the region, drawing on archival material from key public service Departments. Concentrating on the visual arts, Neil follows the course of six major art exhibitions ? five sent from Australia to various countries in South East Asia, and one which came to Australia from Malaysia ? all of which drew favourable responses from viewers and host Governments. Australia's modest but well?directed cultural programs were seen by many as sympathetic to the times and to the aspirations of then emerging nations. Neil finishes with an assessment of where Australia is today in relations with neighbouring countries in South East Asia, and the growth of the Asian communities in Australia."
