1937ref. 38408Author 1937. 6/25/16. Author 1937. 6/25/16. 4to. 6 269 pp. b/w maps. Two Yalies one of them the scion of the Upjohn pharma empire fly around the world in Upjohn's seaplane. The logistics and international permissions necessary for this five month trip must have been formidable and could only have been accomplished by persons of privilege and wealth. However this is not to downplay the riskiness of the adventure which took place only seven years after Lindberg's epic transatlantic flight. In a way this account reminds me of nothing so much as the journals of wealthy young yachtsmen fifty years before. The authors are keen on technical details and radio jargon but punctuate their narratives with interludes such as "Succeeded in bumming some Chesterfield cigarettes; my supply has been low ever since it was politely raided by the young ladies of Kerertarssaurak." Upjohn distributed this self published account to friends and judging by the number of ex-lib copies on the market to a great many libraries. This is one of the rare copies NOT from a library.

Art of the Baga: A Drama of Cultural Reinvention traces the art and cultural history of these very special African people from their legendary flight from the mystical highlands of the interior of Guinea to the coast in their attempt to conserve their own religious ritual to the eventual destruction of their traditions at mid century with the conversion to Islam and with independence from France the establishment of the Republic of Guinea under an iconoclastic Marxist regime. In the book the Baga voice is heard prominently in the direct testimony of three Baga writers and forty Baga consultants of all ages and background experience from ten-year-old boys to elders and ritual leaders of over 100 years of age.
