Booknews
Examines the image of the wild African, as created by European colonizers, artists, and scholars; and how the image has impacted the lives of the people it has been imposed upon. Gordon (anthropology, U. of Vermont) delves into the sociology of knowledge that underlies the myth, and the link between perceived role and economic class. Includes some interesting photographs.
