This introduction to the art of tribal peoples of North America,
Africa, and the South Pacific does not briefly cover the hundreds
of artistic traditions in these three vast areas but rather studies
in depth thirty-six art styles within all three areas using the
methods of art history, including stylistic analysis and
iconographic interpretation. Emphasis is on the art in cultural
context and as a system of visual communication within each tribal
area. Where appropriate for a more complete understanding of the
art, data from archaeology, ethnology, linguistics, religion, and
other humanistic disciplines are included.Among the peoples and
cultures whose art is studied are the Haida, Kwakiutl, and Tlingit;
the Hohokam and Mongollon, the Anasazi and Hopi; the Dogon and
Bamana of Mali; the Asante of Ghana; the Benin, Yoruba, and Ibo of
Nigeria; the Fan, the Bamum, and the Kuba of Central Africa;
Australian aboriginal and Island New Guinea art; Island Melanesia
art; central and eastern Polynesia; Hawaii and the Maori in
Marginal Polynesia.The format of the text and selected
illustrations is based on seventeen years of teaching African,
North American Indian, and South Pacific art to undergraduate and
graduate students at Herbert H. Lehman College (CUNY), New York
University, and Columbia University. The book is intended for art
history and anthropology students and the interested lay reader or
collector. The detailed notes at the end of the book are for
further study, research, and understanding of the tribal art style
under discussion.
