Summary:
"During the colonial period in the 1920's, European interest in collecting African art stimulated a transnational trade between Africa and the West. Today this multi-million dollar trade lies largely in the hands of Muslim merchants. This is a story about Gabai Baaré, a merchant who brings 'wood' from West Africa to sell in the United States. It is a story about the meaning of art."
