2.0 out of 5 stars A worthy effort, but needs to be larger and in color., August 9, 2008

This review is from: The Arts of Black Africa (African Studies Center) (Paperback)

290 Pages,8" x 5.5", Paperback. 201 small black & white photographs. Even though the text is informative, the subject matter cries out for a much larger format, and much larger photographs in color. This small paperback does not do the well-chosen items justice. With so many great books on African Art available, this one is for serious art historians only.
