High ethnic art, collectibles, crafts, kitsch鈥攖he Western model of
primitive art has become, in the past 15 years, a much-fractured thing.
Developing states, meanwhile, use 鈥渢he primitive鈥� to encapsulate, sanitise, and
even manufacture a glorious national past. In The Death of Authentic Primitive
Art and Other Tales of Progress, Shelly Errington juggles competing cultural
discourses without cant or embarrassment. The result is a wry and witty antidote
to the sophistries of museums, galleries and 鈥渃ultural theme parks鈥� both here
and elsewhere. Published by University of California Press, 拢13.95/
$19.95, ISBN 0520212118.
