(Extracted from Partial Recall, Ed. Lucy Lippard, The New Press, New York, 1992, pp. 13-33)

Historian and theoretician Lucy Lippard explores the debate which surrounds the portraiture of Native American peoples. In Lippard’s book Partial Recall, this introductory text (from which an excerpt is printed here) is followed by twelve essays by Native Americans in which issues of history, memory and representation are explored.
