Scope and Contents
"In Baule terms, the most abnormal feature of Goli is that women participate actively, yet it is an amuin-like dance. The presence of the women at a Goli performance in fact seems to go beyond passive witnessing to become part of the event's meaning. No one I spoke to could recall an occasion when Goli had been danced without women." [Vogel S., 1997: Baule: African Art, Western Eyes, Yale University Press]. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon was on assignment for National Geographic and traveled to Africa from January 19, 1972 to mid April 1972.
