The collections of the British Museum provide an exceptional
resource for exploring both African antiquity and its contemporary
arts and cultures. This book looks at the continent as a whole. It
describes through a series of essays the history and arts of
particular regions and the sources of the collections now in the
Museum. Each section will be well-illustrated with a mix of
archival and contemporary field photographs, and will also
integrate illustrations of up to 50 important individual objects
from this world-famous collection. The objects will have a
commentary on their significance by leading figures in the field of
African studies, many of them native to the areas from which the
objects derive. The book brings to bear a mix of Western and
African scholarship in an innovative collaboration to reassess one
of the great African collections.
