Peek One of the unfortunate circumstances of Niger Delta art history is that it is a sidebar to conversations elsewherea dumping ground, say, for the "Lower Niger Bronze Industry"overshadowed by research on the Yoruba, the Benin kingdom, and the Igbo. To be sure, the Niger Delta has its champions. The historian E. J. Alagoa, the anthropologists Robin Horton, Philip Lets, and Marida Hollos, and the linguist Kay Williamson are stalwarts. The anthropologist Philip Peek and the art historians Joanne Etcher and Martha Anderson lead the regatta too, as do other contributors to this catalogue and the related special issue of African Arts (The Niger Delta and Beyond, Spring 2002). But in the cacophony of Nigerian voices, those of the metropolis are more audible and less diffuse. | |
