Annette Schemmel provides a highly illuminating case study of the major actors, discourses and paradigm that shaped the history of visual arts in Cameroon during the second part of the 20th century. Her book meticulously reconstructs the multiple ways of artistic knowledge acquisition - from the consolidation of the "Système de Grands Frères" in the 1970s to the emergence of more discursively oriented small artists' initiatives which responded to the growing NGO market of social practice art opportunities in the 2000s. Based on archival research, participant observation and in depth interviews with art practitioners in Douala and Yaoundé, this study is a must read for everyone who wants to better understand the vibrant artistic scenes in countries like Cameroon, which until today lack a proper state-funded infrastructure in the arts.

"In Africa, the materials that are used to make objects of daily and ritual life are profoundly significant. Material is meaning. Material Differences: Art and Identity in Africa examines the different layers of meaning inherent in the material of each object. Many African cultures believe that mineral and organic materials contain supernatural powers that are associated with protection, healing or with leadership. Some of these materials-wood, ivory, stone, clay, or metals such as iron, copper alloys, and gold-are laden with symbolic significance. The exhibition and this publication investigate the numerous factors that lead to the choice of specific materials in the creation of works of art in sub-Saharan Africa." --Google Books.
