Klappentext zu „Art and Material Culture “
This book documents the development, functions, adaptations and changes in Mijikenda Art and Material Culture in the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial periods. The author examines the intrinsic link of art and material culture to Mijikenda traditional, social, economic and political institutions. The book further examines how aesthetics, visually and non-visually, articulates status in the Mijikenda society. The study concludes that modernization has had a negative impact on the production, use and perpetuation of the Mijikenda Art and Material Culture. Therefore, Professor Elizabeth Orchardson-Mazrui argues that in line with UNESCO s recognition and protection of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, the Kenyan government should be in the forefront of formulating and implementing policies to protect Mijikenda cultural traditions. This book is a must-read for researchers, students and lecturers concerned with cultural studies.
