description: This volume explores issues that remain unexposed in museum presentations of African art. It responds to questions posed by audiences who read the usual label but still want to know more. Why is the figure pounded with nails not called a fetish any more? Exactly how old is this and how do you know? When was this collected, by whom and from whom? What is happening in this part of Africa today? Who displayed this as art and why?
