Sobre el libro Primitive Art in Civilized Places de Sally Price publicado por Chicago al 2002:

What is so "primitive" about primitive art? And how do we dare to use our standards to judge it? Drawing on an intriguing mixture of sources-including fashion ads and films, her own anthropological research, and even comic strips like "Doonesbury"--Price explores the cultural arrogance implicit in Westerners´ appropriation of non-Western art.
"[Price] presents a literary collage of the Western attitude to other cultures, and in particular to the visual art of the Third and Fourth Worlds. . . . Her book is not about works of ´primitive art´ as such, but about the Western construction ´Primitive Art.´ It is a critique of Western ignorance and arrogance: ignorance about other cultures and arrogance towards them.
