The Yaka, a tribe in the southwestern corner of the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, have for over a century produced figurative
statuettes, masks, and other objects that have fascinated Western
scholars, collectors, and explorers. This impressive book brings
together some of the earliest examples, as well as some of the most
visually striking, and explores their uses in installation and
initiation ceremonies and curative rituals, examining their
relationship to leadership, divination, and sorcery. Colonial
influences as well as "anti-fetish" religious movements are studied
for their impact on Yaka traditional art. The book includes 21
black-and-white illustrations and drawings accompanying the text,
62 color plates with commentary, and an annotated bibliography.
