Abstract

This book, a comprehensive description of all the main pot-making communities in one African country, is a contribution towards the study of African crafts. It covers the technique and training of potters, the functions of the pots, present trends in manufacture and marketing and the sociological role of pots in the various communities. The essays have been written by a highly qualified team of academics in a straightforward way so as to appeal to a wide readership. The whole work is a must for every library with an African collection and will give valuable insights to all who are interested in pottery and pot-making, as a craft as well as its origins.
