African royal court art; translated by Jane Marie Todd. col. plates, map, bibliogr. Chicago, London: Univ. of Chicago Press, 1998. Coquet reconstructs the important relationship between traditional African art, known even to very modest villages, and the African states, many of which developed their own symbols of power and splendour not usually expected from peoples who have been described until recently as 'backward' and 'simple'. In Coquet's case, this is really an extension of her previous book on African textiles, as, after all, some of the splendid clothes worn by African chiefs became a part of that court representation.
