This is the most comprehensive work on the Yoruba woodcarving tradition, which is best represented by the Fakeye family of north East Yorubaland. Combining an enormous amount of ethnographic data with images of the craft, the author traces the major phases in the history of wood carving since the 19th century. The study also considers the issues of tradition, modernity, continuity and the importance of the colonial and post-colonial experience.
