コメント	One of the most fascinating artistic phenomena in tropical Africa, mbarihouses are little known outside Igboland. Art historian Herbert M. Cole has drawnfrom his extensive research in eastern Nigeria to produce the first book-lengthstudy of this unusual art form. Cole describes the building of a mbari mud house tohonor the gods, a process rich in tradition and ritual, marked by body painting, drumming, dancing, singing, and chanting. The ecology, socio-cultural systems, andreligion of the Owerri area are examined as a backdrop to the elaborate stage of thebuilding process, which may take up to two years to complete.Illustrated with rare field photographs and superb line drawings, this volume describes and interprets mbari houses not as isolated works of art butas monuments growing out of, and expressive of, the values and beliefs of OwerriIgbo culture.
