Summary

In Mande Potters and Leatherworkers, Barbara E. Frank explores the complex, shifting relationships among the identities of Mande craftspeople, the objects they create, and the technologies they use. She examines their role in the rise and fall of empires, the development of trans-Sahara trade networks, and the spread of Islam, questioning the one tribe, one style interpretations that have dominated studies of West African art.

Author Biography

Barbara E. Frank is an associate professor of art history at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
