Chronicling the
publication and dissemination of the anthropology book Paredes Pintadas da
Lunda (Painted Walls of Lunda), Delinda Collier analyzes two-dimensional images
of the Chokwe peoples of northeastern Angola and their subsequent formats, from
postindependent canvas paintings to Internet images. Collier argues that the
logic of reproductive media envelops the past: each mediation adds another
layer of context and content.
