Symbols Of Africa

Rating:
Summary: Good Adinkra Symbol Source
Review: Symbols of Africa is an impressive attempt to cover a very wide range of cultures and subjects. The 'symbols' range from hair styles and body modifications to jewelry and cloth designs. Most of this is not very organized and poorly illustrated. But the chapter on Adinkra Symbols (pictured around the border of the book's cover) is very good. In this chapter the illustrations capture the symbols in their rough, natural form. Precise, one-sentence descriptions accompany each Adinkra symbol. The book is worth it for this one golden chapter.
