Visually - it is a profusely illustrated art book that includes 480 pictures, mostly in colour. It is also a book about life in South Africa. On the back is written:  There is much to discover in Southern Africa. Where for a long time a simplistic black-and-white approach barred deeper understanding, now the multifarious and fascinating diversity of men and cultures and their histories and artistic developments become ever more apparent.       Tracing the Rainbow - Page 229   The book includes a collection of highly varied essays by knowledgeable 'experts' on Africa. Topics range from early-collected tribal art, contemporary art, historical and political topics, to questions of artistic production as well as ways to deal with nature and culture in the face of globalization and industrialization. An overall picture of a vigorously dynamic Southern Africa is presented.       Tracing the Rainbow - Page 346       Tracing the Rainbow - Page 93   Tracing the Rainbow - Art and Life in Southern Africa was published in 2001 by Arnoldsche of Stuttgart and edited by Stefan Eisenhofer. Text is in German with English summaries.       Tracing the Rainbow - Page 381   Great objects are found throughout, but the misattribution of the same runs rampant. The cause for this may well have been a lack of knowledge by various contributors. First prize for 'way off" goes to a Turkana ostrich egg apron labeled as San (Page 58). Second, to an Ila 'or related' headed axe labeled Zulu (Pages 380-381). This aside, the book is a MUST HAVE for any serous Southern African tribal art collector interested in viewing authentic items.       Tracing the Rainbow - Pages 377 - 405 and 376   Price: $120.00 plus postage.
