Hardcover. Red and black dj with white and yellow text. Black/gray boards with gilt text on spine. 313 pp. Some bw illustrations. "This comprehensive study of the arts of Zaire concerns one of the outstanding cultural traditions of Africa. Because of the nature of the materials, the central focus of the work is on sculpture in its multidimensional aspects of form, usage, function, and meaning, and in its interrelationships with other visual, verbal, musical, and kinetic arts. Derived from extensive library, museum, and archival research carried out in Europe and the United States, the scattered primary data are compiled and organized into a synthetic whole. Each art-producing ethnic group is treated as a discrete unit, with its internal divisions and external relationships placed in perspective." Good- (some wear on dj, minor staining on textblock, some pencilling and penning on pages, on some pages penning is extensive with underlines and notation).…

Le résultat est unique en son genre, un alliage entre deux savoir-dire où ethnologue et barde se relaient pour raconter un peuple en pleine mutation à l époque coloniale. « En 1952, lors d une visite chez les Nyanga, population vivant dans les vastes forêts équatoriales de Walikale, j ai pu admirer le talent d un certain Sherungu qui jouait de la cithare à deux cordes et qui chantait en langue hunde. Au cours de sa performance, j ai découvert en lui un homme aux talents multiples : il était un interlocuteur tout à la fois critique et de confiance qui savait commenter la vie quotidienne, assister aux diverses enquêtes et participer aux danses et aux rites. » Vers la fin de 1955, Sherungu rejoint l auteur au centre Lwiro de l Institut pour la recherche scientifique en Afrique centrale, près de Bukavu, afin qu il raconte sa vie. Il a dicté ses mémoires à ses deux assistants, Messieurs Kubuya et Tubi, deux jeunes nyanga formés à la transcription, linguistiquement correcte, de textes oraux.
