Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. KB8.xxvii, 348 pp. Notes, bibliography, index. 8 colour plates, 110 texts figures. Oblong octavo. Black dust jacket with photo of Khoshi Mahumbu dancing the mask Mbangu. DJ has very minor shelf wear, few faint finger marks, otherwise clean and nice. Book itself is crisp and clean. Beautiful copy of this important work. "Masks play an important part in the life of the Pende, as with many Central African peoples. Strother has produced an in-depth scholarly study of Pende masquerade traditions, especially during and following the colonial experience. What makes the book notable is Strother's focus on creativity and the processes of artistic innovation, which the author contends have kept those masking customs vital. While much of the research is based on the contemporary situation, a precolonial and early-colonial art history is also incorporated as an important part of the study."
