In and out of Africa.
"During the colonial period in the 1920's, European interest in
collecting African art stimulated a transnational trade between
Africa and the West. Today this multi-million dollar trade lies
largely in the hands of Muslim merchants. This is a story
about Gabai Baaré, a merchant who brings 'wood' from West
Africa to sell in the United States. It is a story about the
meaning of art."
