Robert Layton provides an authoritative introduction to the richness and diversity of art forms in non-Western societies. Layton relates particular art productions to rituals, myths and power relations in regions such as West Africa and Australia. This is a revised version, which was first published in 1981, and will be useful for students in archaeologists, anthropologists and art history.
