    A Many-Sided Frontier: History and ‘Shades of Grey’ in <i>Sweet Country</i>
    (Routledge, 2019) Annemarie McLaren
    Sweet Country may be a film constructed with the conventions of a Western – the guns, horses, spirits, and vast frontier landscapes with law and justice as central themes – but it is also a film grounded in oral history and the written archive. This article considers Sweet Country as a historical account of colonialism, scripted, directed and produced by an Indigenous team. It explores how the frontier and race relations are constructed, and how history is merged with myth and narrative to create a potent period piece with the timelessness of an epic and the urgency of the present.

    Captain Cook upon Changing Seas: Indigenous Voices and Reimagining at the British Museum
    (Routledge, 2019) Annemarie McLaren; Alison G. Clark
    This article reviews the British Museum exhibition, Reimagining Captain Cook: Pacific Perspectives, 29 November 2018–4 August 2019. It situates the exhibition within a global context of exhibitions held around the 250th anniversary of Cook’s first voyage, and critically considers its attempt to reframe dominant narratives surrounding Cook, his voyages and more broadly the colonization of the Pacific through a focus on Pacific Islander perspectives within a changing museum sector.
