Review Quotes: "Media Primitivism is a nuanced and singular intellectual project that stands to make an impact across the fields of African art, media studies, and art history. . . . Its most exciting contribution is that it breathes new life into the theoretical possibilities proposed by African art itself."--Allison K. Young "African Arts"
