A detailed examination of the impact of Islam upon traditional art forms in African society.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In this interesting and original study Professor Bravmann re-examines and refutes the assumption that the aniconic attitudes of Islam, especially the prohibition of representational imagery, have had a detrimental effect on the visual arts in the areas of West Africa influenced by this universalistic faith.
