Description

This indispensable directory of data on serials that contain information relevant to the study of ethnoart fills a gap long perceived by scholars of the indigenous arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, an area of academic focus in which reference materials have been generally lacking. Culled from a database developed by compiler Eugene C. Burt to track potentially useful periodicals in connection with his publication, Ethnoarts Index, the volume is designed to aid those with an interest in ethnoart in determining which serial publications best suit their research needs. In the main directory users can find information on former titles, publisher, editorial focus, content features, and a relevancy rating on each of almost 700 individual serial titles that have an editorial focus related to ethnoart. Nine separate appendices list recommended titles in various categories as well as serials that include indexing, bibliographic or abstracting services, ceased titles, and more. Titles include publications from the fields of art history, anthropology, history, area studies, librarianship, museum studies, and general interest magazines.

Reviews:

-Information for this guide to ethnoart serials was extracted from a database developed by producers of the quarterly Ethnoarts Index (1987-; formerly Tribal Arts Review, 1984-86) who provide bibliographic essays to the world's literature on ethnoart, the traditional visual arts of the indigenous peoples of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Entries in the guide provide subscription data and information on editorial focus, on book and exhibition reviews, and on indexing plus a relevancy rating that indicates the frequency with which ethnoart-oriented articles, reviews, etc. appear in the serial. Title recommendations for building ethnoart collections are based on the relevancy ratings. Extremely valuable appendixes list recommended titles by geographic region covered; serials that offer bibliographic access to other ethnoart publications; ceased publications; and titles by country of publication. A rotating keyword-in-title index is also provided. With the growth in interest in ethnographic materials, this is an essential publication for most academic libraries and for large public libraries serving patrons with interests in anthropology and art. —Choice
