Folk Art (eBook, ePUB)

Continuity, Creativity, and the Brazilian Quotidian

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction.
What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from New Mexico and North Carolina; from Ireland, Portugal, and Italy; from Nigeria, Turkey, India, and Bangladesh; from China and Japan.
This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity.
