Book excerpt: This book describes the techniques and rituals used by Bamana artists in Mali, West Africa, when they carve sacred sculpture. Chronicling the process of decision-making that results in a commission, it provides a detailed account of the carving process and analyzes its meaning. Sarah Brett-Smith demonstrates that Bamana sculptors compare the process of producing a ritual object to sexual intercourse and to childbirth. She details how Bamana sculptors become great artists, how this process requires a shift from a male to a female gender identity, and why the Bamana believe that an artist must make tragic sacrifices to win renown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume examines the extraordinary artistic and cultural traditions of the African region known as the western Sahel, a vast area on the southern edge of the Sahara desert that includes present-day Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, and Niger. This is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the diverse cultural achievements and traditions of the region, spanning more than 1,300 years from the pre Islamic period through the nineteenth century. It features some of the earliest extant art from sub Saharan Africa as well as such iconic works as sculptures by the Dogon and Bamana peoples of Mali. Essays by leading international scholars discuss the art, architecture, archaeology, literature, philosophy, religion, and history of the Sahel, exploring the unique cultural landscape in which these ancient communities flourished. Richly illustrated and brilliantly argued, Sahel brings to life the enduring forms of expression created by the peoples who lived in this diverse crossroads of the world.
