"Intervention: Anything But My Own Skin" is a brutally honest account of a young man's addiction beginning with a drug and alcohol intervention performed by the author's parents, an intervention team, and a pair of handcuffs. When the author's final escape attempt from the intervention turns out unsuccessful, he gives in and gets on a plane to a wilderness treatment center in the middle of Montana. Through out the story, the author, Chad unveils the reasons he fell into the dark world of addiction by flashing back to old drug and alcohol stories. However, the treatment center is where the story truly begins and where the hard work takes place. Will Chad stay at the center and face the demons of his addiction or will he flee Montana and stay on the path of self-destructive behaviors?
What represents Melanesian art today? Is there modern Melanesian art? Who are the artists? What are the subjects of their art? Art and Life in Melanesia is timely in its exploration of Melanesian artists and their voices, providing an important juncture for many in the region and beyond to take stock of what is happening in Melanesian art. The thirteen chapters are linked essays premised around major cultural themes including Kastom, Christianity, Indigenisation and Globalisation, Markets, Festivals, Diasporas, Urban Culture and Politics. Each theme focuses on ideas, issues and some specific arts practices, drawing examples from a few localities. Not every country is addressed under each theme, an approach that provides the reader with substantive country-specific information. Research for this book was supported by the University of Queensland.
