Faculty Accomplishments

Edna Bay - Asen, Ancestors, and Vodun: Tracing Change in African Art, published by the University of Illinois Press (2008). "The great strength of Asen, Ancestors, and Vodun is that Bay explores the history of one particular object through time, a recent trend in African art studies. As an historian, she is able to embed the course of asen through time in relationship to social and political and economic change that occurred in the country. This invaluable book is almost as much a history of the city of Abomey in Benin as it is a study of one object."--Simon Ottenberg, editor of The Nsukka Artists and Nigerian Contemporary Art
