''Masks -- found in Greek drama and African imitation rites, in the European carnival and the battle preparations of New Guinea -- exert a powerful fascination. The use of masks raises questions of identity and possession, reality and artifice, the natural and the supernatural. Masks are a near-universal phenomenon, but the uses and meanings of masquerade vary greatly among cultures. Here, through revealing texts and a wide range of illustrations, a team of experts discusses the disparate traditions surrounding masks in eight principal areas: Africa, Oceania, Latin America, the Pacific Northwest, Japan, classical Greece and Rome, Egypt and Europe.''
