Diakonoff, Serge. L’âme de l’Afrique: masques et sculptures [Africa’s Soul: Masks and Sculptures].Paris: les Éditions de l’Amateur, 2008.

This book sheds light on the incredible paradox that characterizes African art as it is both diverse and consistent. It shows, through the study of statuettes and masks, what is specific to the African intellectual nature and its contribution to mankind’s cultural and intellectual history.
