This illustrated study of tourist trinkets that became important artifacts traces the history of the Pueblo Indian clay "rain gods" that have been sold to travelers in Tesuque Pueblo, N.M., since the 1880s. Anderson, an anthropologist interested in Southwestern native arts and aesthetics, describes how the Native American curio market popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries led to scholarly rejection of the rain gods and their relatives. Contains color and black and white photographs. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
