And how do we dare to use our standards to judge it? Drawing on an intriguing mixture of sources-including fashion ads and films, her own anthropological research, and even comic strips like \u003ci\u003eDoonesbury\u003c\/i\u003e-Price explores the cultural arrogance implicit in Westerners' appropriation of non-Western art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[Price] presents a literary collage of the Western attitude to other cultures, and in particular to the visual art of the Third and Fourth Worlds. . . . Her book is not about works of 'primitive art' as such, but about the Western construction 'Primitive Art.' It is a critique of Western ignorance and arrogance: ignorance about other cultures and arrogance towards them.\"-Jeremy Coote, \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"The book is infuriating, entertaining, and inspirational, leaving one feeling less able than before to pass judgment on 'known' genres of art, but feeling more confident for that.\"-Joel Smith, \u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"[A] witty, but scholarly, indictment of the whole primitive-art business, from cargo to curator.
