Product Description
The anthropology of art is currently at a crossroads. Although well versed in the meaning of art in small-scale tribal societies anthropologists are still wrestling with the question of how to interpret art in a complex post-colonial environment. Alfred Gell recently confronted this problem in his posthumous book Art and Agency.
