This remarkable and controversial book exploresmthe wazs in which colonial Europeans have been represented in African ritual art and drama. Through a profound re-examination of Western concepts of otherness and mimesis, the antropologist and art historian Fritz Krammer shows that African images of Europeans - insculpture, masquerades and - above all- spirit possession - are the reverse and also the counterpart of European images of the Other as savage, whether noble or ignoble. For Africans, Europeans belonged to the realm of nature, to a state of innocence.
