Published in 1984, this 64–page volume of the Hampton University Museum’s Black Art: an International Quarterly (predecessor to The International Review of African American Art) is dedicated to Afro–Brazilian and West African art, ritual and culture. Discussed in this issue are the works of Haitian sculptor “Master Didi,” the Candomblé religion, Brazil’s Bahian Carnival, and the symbolism of kotomisi, a style of dress historically worn by Black female slaves.  This issue also pays tribute to Jules Chin A. Foeng, Surinamese scholar, painter and sculptor. Included in this issue are many color and black & white photographs of artists’ works, and very insightful commentaries by highly respected art reviewers.
