"Taking as its point of departure the earliest known artistic tradition in southern Africa 100,000 years ago, South Africa: the art of a nation explores the history of South Africa through a selection of its artworks, paying particular attention not only to their relationship to one another, but also to their connections with key episodes in the nation's evolution. By setting up a dialogue between past and present, between art objects old and new, the book offers a refreshingly novel way of looking at the history of South Africa, a story that begins many millenia before the creation of the modern nation. . Published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum, this book offers new and often moving insights into one of the most vibrant nations whose fascinating story, process of self-discovery and periods of reinvention have all been reflected in its art.".
