Culture in the Marketplace

"This excellent and interesting work contributes to the question of how discourses about 'art' and 'art-making' circulate broadly within society. With subtlety and care Mullin traces out how 'Indian arts' and the Southwest come to have distinctive meanings within the context of American culture and its historical situation. It is a model of what an anthropology that links political economy, gender, and interpretation can and should do."--Fred Myers, coeditor of "The Traffic in Culture: Refiguring Art and Anthropology"
