About This Item
Columbia SC: University of South Carolina Press, 1992. 8vo. Glossy brown cloth covered boards. 201 pp. Book in fine condition./Jacket also fine.. Translated by Laura Grillo. With seventeen illustrations. Ritual masking is an important institution in many traditional societies and has attracted much attention from Western scholars. In Ritual Masks, Pernet provides a thorough survey of masks and masking traditions in Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, based on a close analysis of the literature in several languages. Pernet's approach provides him with an opportunity to examine issues of importance to the history of religion and anthropology. These include the influence of theory on the interpretation of prehistoric documents; androcentrism in anthropology and the history of religions; and Western scholarship's recurrent problems in interpreting preliterate or traditional societies.
