I suppose he thinks it is better than talking about it as "natural history", but I highly recommend the following article to those who have not read it: MacGaffey, Wyatt. 1998. "Magic, Or as We Usually Say, Art: A Framework for Comparing European and African Art." In <em>The Scramble for Art in Central Africa</em>, edited by Enid Schildkrout, and Curtis A. Keim, Cambridge, UK ; New York: Cambridge University Press.
