Review
"The wealth of historiographic resources, the command of
relevant literature, the ethnographic research and prudent use of
oral traditions give this work a high degree of... intellectual
excitement.... a landmark in the field." Warren d Azevedo
Making use of archival and oral resources in this extensively
researched book, Paula Girshick Ben-Amos questions to what extent
art operates as political strategy. How do objects acquire
political meaning? How does the use of art enhance and embody power
and authority?"
