内容説明

"Equatoria" probes the nature of power relations between "us" and "them". This diary of an artifact-collecting expedition in French Guiana is accompanied by a sideshow of epigraphs and sketches. The authors detailed their day-to-day adventures and misadventures, constantly confronting their ambivalence about the act of collecting, the very possibility of exhibiting cultures, and the future of anthropology. By the time their expedition arrived in the villages of the Aluku Maroons, these African-American descendants of rebel slaves had become as comfortable in blue jeans and frilly mail-order dresses flown in from Paris as in patchwork breechcloths and trade cotton wrap-skirts. Richard and Sally Price have been learning and writing about Afro-Caribbean life for 30 years. Richard Price's most recent books are "First-Time" and "Alabi's World". Sally Price's publications include "Co-Wives and Calabashes" and "Primitive Art in Civilized Places". Together they have written "Afro-American Arts of the Suriname Rain Forest", "Two Evenings in Saramaka" and Stedman's "Surinam".

内容説明

A postmodern romp through the rain forest, Equatoria is both travelogue and cultural critique. On the right-hand pages, the Prices chronicle their 1990 artifact-collecting expedition up the rivers of French Guiana, and on the left, stage an accompanying sideshow that enlists the help of Jonathan Swift, Joseph Conrad, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, Alex Haley, James Clifford, Eric Hobsbawn, Germaine Greer, and even the noted anthropologist James Goodfellow. Charged with acquiring objects for a new museum, the Prices kept a log of their day-to-day adventures and misadventures, constantly confronting their ambivalence about the act of collecting, the very possibility of exhibiting cultures and the future of anthropology. Probing the nature of museums, collecting, and power relations between "us" and "them," the Prices raise many troubling questions.
