Art and Craft of Southern Africa by Rhoda Levinsohn is a book of colour, history, and change. The baskets, pottery, bead-work and dress so richly illustrated and described are truly treasures, but treasures in transition. . Can these traditional arts benefit from this renaissance of Western interest and withstand the pressures of acculturation; or are they dying and headed for extinction? In these pages, this question is for the first time explored in depth. What the future will bring remains to be seen.
