Book Synopsis Vigilant Things by : David Todd Doris
Book excerpt: "Throughout southwestern Nigeria, Yoruba men and women create objects called ààlè to protect their properties from the ravages of thieves. Ààlè are objects of such unassuming appearance that a non-Yoruba viewer might not register their important presence in the Yoruba visual landscape. David T. Doris argues that ààlè are keys to understanding how images function in Yoruba social and cultural life."--Publisher description.
