The Death of Authentic Primitive Art: And Other Tales of Progress
Shelly Errington
Argues that Primitive Art was invented as a different type of art object at the beginning of the twentieth century but that at the century's end, it has died a double but contradictory death. This book shows how the idea of primitive can be used in the interests of promoting nationalism and economic development.
