Produktbeschreibung

"This volume [which asks what happens when something precious is despoiled] is vintage Taussig. . . . It has the hallmarks of his other works--originality, unusual associations among diverse sources, provocative and definitely contestable interpretations of classic theoretical texts, and a generally intimate, fascinated style of communicating with his readers."--George Marcus, Rice University
