West Africa
Towns were a recurrent feature of African civilizations and archaeology is a key discipline for the study of urban life before the colonial period but this volume also addresses aspects of modern urban culture: funerary arts, modern sculpture, cholera awareness and the ingenuity of the urban recycling artisan. Published in association with The West African Museums Programme and the International African Institute.
