Making Believe: Questions About Mennonites and Art - Redekop, Magdalene

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Part criticism, part memoir, Redekop to identifies a Mennonite sensibility at play in the space where artists from many cultures interact. Constant questioning and commitment to community are part of the Mennonite dissenting tradition. Although these values come up against the legacy of radical Anabaptist hostility to art, Redekop argues that the Early Modern roots of a contemporary crisis of representation are shared by all artists. This book insists on respect for difference at the same time as it invites readers to find common ground while making believe across cultures.
