Colonialism and the Object: Empire, Material Culture and the Museum (Routledge, 1997)
by Tom Flynn (Editor), Tim Barringer (Editor)

"These innovative theoretical analyses have opened up new approaches to how we should display colonial objects in a post-colonial world. Drawing together an international group of scholars from a variety of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, Colonialism and the Object includes intensive case studies of objects from India, Pakistan, New Zealand, China and Africa, all of which were collected by or exhibited in the institutions of the British Empire. Other chapters address issues of racial identity across cultural barriers, and the hybrid styles of objects which can emerge when cultures meet."



The Body in Sculpture (Everyman Art Library, Weidenfeld & Nicolson), 1998 (Published in US by Abrams as The Body in Three Dimensions)
by Tom Flynn

"A highly original, deft and compelling account of the history of sculpted representations of the human body. Its broad sweep from prehistory to post modernism incorporates both the great achievements of such sculptors as Donatello, Michelangelo, Canova and Brancusi, and those shadier representations of the body which Tom Flynn convincingly identifies as sculpture's doppelgänger, from waxworks to cyborgs. Illustrated with over 110 carefully chosen pictures, this is a genuinely important contribution to the general literature of sculpture."
