Recenzii
"Offers a compelling narrative which leads the reader - following the author's experiences - through all stages of construction, and it provides rich and comprehensive portraits of the masons who execute the building process and who are the producers and keepers of Djenné's unique architectural style." Geert Mommersteeg, University of Utrecht"An elegantly written and important anthropological study of indigenous knowledge, building practices, and social relationships among contemporary Djenné masons in Mali." Mary Jo Arnoldi, Smithsonian Institution
