Constructing African Art Histories for the Lagoons of Côte d'Ivoire investigates the methodology of art historians who work in Africa, and traces the varied receptions African art works are given as they leave a local context and enter an international one. Drawing on extensive fieldwork among Akan populations, it illuminates the rich visual arts of the Lagoon Peoples, and examines theoretical positions that impact the discipline of African art history.
