The essential reader for anyone who wants a broad, stimulating introduction to the field.”Jeremy MacClancy, Oxford Brookes University“Addresses significant debates … .Seems[s] to provide an understanding of the often subtle but underlying discourse on contemporary African art.” H-Net Reviews "A unique and timely manual that serves to connect the student with the creative impulse of man."The Electric Review
