Abstract/Summary	This is the introduction and bibliography to Prosthetic Gods: Travel, Representation and Colonial Governance by Robert Dixon. This book is a major contribution to Australian Studies informed by the recent concerns of postcolonial theory. It focuses on white Australia's involvement in Melanesia in the first half of the twentieth century. Interdisciplinary in scope, it deals with the travel writing, cinema and photography of Frank Hurley, Frank Clune, Ion L. Idriess and James McAuley. Robert Dixon is a highly regarded professor of English and contributor to public intellectual debate. 'Dixon's attention to historical documentary detail coupled with an understanding of the complexities of postcolonial theory make Prosthetic Gods an important study of Australia's emergence in modernity.' - Ron Blaber, JAS Review of Books
