INTO THE HEART OF AFRICA by Jeanne Cannizzo

The companion book to an exhibition organized by the Royal Ontario Museum, Into the Heart of Africa is lavish­ ly illustrated with 16 full-color and 84 black and white photographs of objects and historical photos from the ROM's outstanding African collections. Diaries and letters home bring to life the characters, cultures and events of a century ago, revealing a turbulent period of history, as Canadians participated in Britain's efforts to colonize and convert African nations. The ob­ jects themselves speak of the economic, political and religious complexities of numerous societies, while demon­ strating the superb artistry of their African creators.
