AFRICA ADORNED, by Angela Fisher, published by Willian Collins and Co.
Ltd., ISBN 0 00 216622 4
Reviewed by Shannon Larratt <glider54@pobox.com>:
"Africa Adorned is one of those large coffee-table style photo books
whose subject just happens to be the jewelry worn by the tribal
peoples
of the African continent (although it does stray into related
subjects
like bodysculpting and scarification). Almost all of the photos are
very
high quality modern photos, with a few, much older, photos thrown in
for
historical illustration. A great cross section of cultures are
illustrating, making some very interesting points as the practises of
nomadic cultures are compared with richer farming societies. The only
complaint I can make about this book is that the commentary should be
taken with a grain of salt, as it's cultural bias is quite apparent,
with some of the arts being referred to as "barbaric" or "primitive."
However, overall I must say that anybody that buys this book will
most
certainly be happy with it - it is a very attractive addition to any
collection."
