Review Quotes: "Media Primitivism is a compelling book that blends media theory, art history, and African art history in a masterful act of theoretical weaving on the part of its author. . . . Tracing deeper technological histories on the continent . . . proves that the question of Africa (as a place and idea) is not additive to media studies, but a foundational aspect of it."--Alexandra M. Thomas "Media-N"
