This universal theme of duality is now examined in a handsome book that presents African sculptural masterpieces created in wood, bronze, terracotta, and beadwork from the twelfth to the twentieth centuries. Drawn from thirty sub-Saharan African cultures, including those of the Dogon, Lobi, Baule, Senufo, Yoruba, Chamba, Jukun, Songye, and Sakalava, the sculptures tell much about each culture?s beliefs and social ideals. These artistic creations are astonishingly rich and diverse forms of expression. An essay written by LaGamma discusses thirty works, all of which are illustrated in color.".
