"First published in Great Britain 1998 by Calmann and King Ltd."-- T.p. Includes bibliographical references (p. 261-265) and index. "This compelling book presents a fascinating overview of the royal arts of Africa. It explores the diverse ways in which African rulers have employed art and architecture in kingdoms from West and Central Africa to define individual and state identity. Suzanne Blier draws on a rich array of illustrations to provide a unique insight into the cultural context of these complex arts while also raising more general questions about royalty and power."-- Back cover. |
