Book excerpt: In response to political and social upheaval, University of Nigeria artists have turned to the obscure Igbo culture. Drawing on extensive interviews with the artists, and analyzing their art and writings, anthropologist Simon Ottenberg shows how the artists have used the symbols of a little-studied tradition to celebrate their culture and create visual commentaries on their country. 78 color, 115 b&w illustrations.
