Sobre este artículo
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. The Maroons of Suriname, in northeastern South America, are the descendants of African slaves who escaped from coastal plantations in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and established new societies and cultures in the rain forest. With a freedom unique in Afro-America to develop their own cultural forms, and drawing on their diverse African pasts, the Maroons created a way of life in artistic expression - woodcarving, textile arts, calabash decoration, and the myriad arts of performance." 274 illustrations, including several in color. Quarto. Original tan cloth binding, with gilt titles. Some very mild edgewear to the dust jacket; else near fine.
