REVUE
I am enamored with this book and have not discovered another publication on this subject near as comprehensive or wonderful. The collaboration with Black African indigenous experts and a list of 'contributors' with extensive field work in Nigeria has brought together one of the greatest publications of our time. Central Nigeria Unmasked: Arts Of The Benue River Valley teems with a spectrum of insight into the history and constant state of evolution with Nigeria's diverse peoples and their cultures along the Benue River.
I am reminiscent of (Art of Cameroon) Paul Gebauer's irrevocable concept of primarily thinking and viewing African masquerades and objects through the perspective of their religion. In turn, this means one needs to obtain an understanding of a specific tribe's basic beliefs, ideas and symbols apart from Western ideologies (as these notions are not compatible).
Previously, I purchased a mask which certainly DID NOT present itself as a credulous example from the common groups of Nigeria. It was sold as an Ibibio zoomorphic relic. Attempting to confirm the origin proved to be an extremely difficult task. I researched for years with a tenacity and finally discovered a strikingly similar Igala specimen from the Ibaji area of the Benue river in this book! Prior to this, the absolute best I could find was an old photo dated before 1931 represented as Igbo (Mmanwu) from the Cross River region.
Anyone desiring to obtain a clearer understanding of Nigeria's myriad of art, cultures, and evolution should include this publication with their reference books. It is deeply under-priced.
Unfortunately there are a few challenging aspects, but the benefits out-way the following issues;
1.. The book is very heavy, over 600 pages.
2.. The binding is "okay", but not superior quality (as with Prestel publications).
3.. The hard cover tears easily - causing separation from the book. I reinforced the inside of my book to maintain structural integrity. Despite the problem with the cover, the paper quality, photos and supporting text are excellent / exceptional.
