The book explores the revival of anthropology's relationship with art during the 1960s and 1970s, focusing on British anthropologist Anthony Forge's significant contributions. Through his fieldwork with the Abelam people of Papua New Guinea, Forge examined the intricate connections between art production, social importance, and cultural meaning. His thought-provoking inquiries challenge the marginalization of art in anthropology, prompting a reevaluation of its role and significance in various societies.
