Sinossi
'A chronicle of mutual discoveries in which individuals and culturesare changed by the repercussions of connection.' Ekow Eshun From the seventeenth century, largely as a result of British colonial expansion, non-European visitors to England caused widespread frissons of excitement, interest and curiosity in social circles across the capital. This book examines the complexities and ambiguities of encounters between these visitors and their British contemporaries over 150 years. These visitors from former British colonies, including North America, the South Pacific, India and Africa; their reasons for coming and their reception in Britain were as diverse as their backgrounds. Their stories, their impressions and the impact they had on British society are examined here for the first time. The book brings to life the fascinating accounts of a small but diverse group of fourteen individuals, including the 'Four Indian Kings' from Canada and Mai from the South Pacific, Raja Rammonhun Roy from India and Sara Baartman 'The Hottentot Venus' from Africa. In addition to its art-historical import, this timely account is of real contemporary cultural resonance. Published to accompany an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London from 8 March to 15 June 2007.

Dalla quarta di copertina
Verslag van de verhalen en indrukken van de 17e eeuwse Londonaren met de nieuwe bezoekers uit de Britse koloniën
In de zeventiende eeuw, maakten opgewonden en nieuwsgierige Londenaren kennis met nieuwe bezoekers uit de kolonien in de Stille Oceaan en Afrika, Noord Amerika en India. De achtergronden, hun redenen om te komen, maar ook de ontvangst van deze exotische bezoekers liepen ver uiteen.
In 'Between Worlds' zijn hun verhalen en indrukken, maar ook het effect van hun bezoeken voor het eerst opgetekend. De auteurs wekken deze bijzondere ontmoetingen in woord en beeld tot leven. Daardoor is dit boek niet alleen van grote kunsthistorische waarde maar vormt het ook een uniek tijdsdocument van een roerige periode uit de Britse geschiedenis.
Catalogus bij de gelijknamige tentoonstelling in de National Portrait Gallery in Londen van 8 maart tot 15 juni 2007.
