An exhibition about the works of the Vermeersch family of artists fits perfectly within the exhibition policy that has been elaborated by the Flemish Parliament in recent years in collaboration with the Commision for the Integration of artworks, headed by Flor Bex, which pays great attention to what is happening in the Flemish contemporary art field. It was this vision that lay behind the wise decision to appoint Pieter Vermeersch, one of the younger members of the artistic family and a successful artist himself, to serve as the curator for this exhibition. This book is not so much a catalogue of the exhibition as a view into the world of the Vermeersches, who each express their artistic inspiration in their own way. Exhibition: De Loketten, Brussel (25.03.2010 - 03.07.2010).

Although the Koma are known throughout the world as a result of the so-called Komaland-terracottas, excavated in the 1980s, no extensive ethnographic publication about their culture has appeared yet. The present book comprises some of the results of author Franz Kroger's surveys during six field research trips between 1984 and 2008. It is also based on the profound knowledge of the co-author, Ben Baluri Saibu, a lawyer from the Koma village of Yikpabongo. The main focus of the book is the social, political and economic structure of the Koma, as well as their material culture, and, above all, their traditional religion and the extraordinarily dynamic history. A Konni-English word list with approximately 2400 entries might be interesting for linguists specialised in the West African Gur languages.
