Katsina: Commodified and Appropriated Images of Hopi Supernaturals by Zena Pearlstone - Temporarily Out of Stock

A thoughtfully written book which takes the reader on a journey through history of the Hopi, their beliefs and how their Katsina dolls have been used by the Hopi themselves and others. The Hopi Katsinam have been imitated and exploited, and in these pages, different artists' thoughts and concerns are presented.  Beautifully documented with photographs, this book will help the scholar and collector understand the meaning of the Katsina to the Hopi tribe.
