3. Chinese Australian history in 88 Objects

Chinese Australian history in 88 Objects is not so much a publication of Chidestudy Press as its grandfather, that is an older project with much to offer of interest. The aim is to approach history in a manner that strives to bridge the academic and the popular. Rather than add yet another narrative history, Chinese-Australian history is explored and exposed through some of the many objects that exist in collections both public and private in both Australia and, suggestively, China. These objects may or may not have aesthetic or historical value in themselves; rather the choice of object is based on its capacity to add a unique piece to the puzzle that is Australian and its Chinese-Australian aspects. In so doing it is hoped to diminish mystery while illuminating history.
