Review: "Coaxing the Spirits to Dance emerges from over ten years of research by the catalogue's authors both in Papua New Guinea and with the Hood Museum of Art's collections of Oceanic art. It explores the relationship between artistic style and expression and social life in the Gulf of Papua New Guinea, opening up new resources to readers and researchers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
