Seminal Seeds and Hybrids: Colonialism and Mountain Cultural Arts in West Virginia.
Morris, Christine Ballengee
Journal of Multicultural and Cross-cultural Research in Art Education, v14 p66-79 Fall 1996
Examines the effects of institutionalized appropriation and colonization on mountain cultural artists, arts, and arts education in West Virginia. Interview excerpts convey the conflict between institutional representatives and mountain cultural artists regarding questions about authenticity, artistic intentions, marketing, and who should teach traditional cultural arts. Some consequences of this conflict are misrepresentation, misinterpretation, and cultural alteration. (Author/TD)
