Published with the Center for African Art, NYC, this handsome, large (9×12) book illustrates 120 artifacts in excellent color, and introduces them in 80 pages of text and photos (only 15 in b&w) of the settings and uses of the objects. The authors argue persuasively that these cultures regard wilderness as a state that is removed from their civilized villages. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
