To Weave and Sing: Art, Symbol, and Narrative in the South American Rainforest Paperback - 1990
by David M. Guss
First line
I went to the Yekuana for the first time in 1976 as part of a grant from the Organization of American States to translate their creation epic known as the Watunna.
From the rear cover
"To Weave and Sing is a beautiful book that crosses disciplines--a celebration of the human imagination that transcends cultural barriers."--Lucy R. Lippard, author of Pop Art and Overlay: Contemporary Art and the Art of Prehistory
"In David Guss's To Weave and Sing, the core of the world's most cryptic cultural region takes form and shines by its own light."--Roy Wagner, University of Virginia
"Guss takes us a good way into the sacred ideology of the Yekuana basket and into the minds of the Yekuana as they sing their baskets into existence. . . . I would call this a seminal and path-breaking work, one of the most stimulating and significant in many a year on South American Indian culture."--Peter T. Furst, University of Pennsylvania Museum
