About This Item
Los Angeles: UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, 2001. Hardcover. As new in shrinkwrap. Black cloth boards with black illustrated dust jacket, tan and blue lettering, 200 pp, richly illustrated in color. "This volume chronicles the commodification of the Hopi Katsinam (plural of Katsina or Kachina) over the last 150 years. Once known only to the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest, these carvings have been transformed into international symbols and are now found decorating designer scarves, T-shirts, coasters, and a host of other products. In the course of this heavily illustrated study, the authors confront the consequences of inter- and intracultural perception, definitions of sacred and secular, colonialist thought and postcolonial retort. Also included are short statements by thirteen contemporary artists actively carving Katsinam or representing them in their work."- website Based on an exhibition held at the UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History in 2001./ Includes bibliographical references (pages 192-200.
