Wagering the Land: Ritual, Capital, and Environmental Degradation in the Cordillera of Northern Luzon, 1900-1986

Editorial Reviews
Jack Flam, Art in America
"One of the most fascinating parts of Lewis's book is her discussion of the parallels between some of Czanne's paintings and the operas of Richard Wagner. . . . Lewis's book is valuable for the way that it places Czanne's early work within a cultural and art-historical context."

Bob Kirsh, The Burlington Magazine
"Lewis presents significant new material and handles it well. If her work is not exhaustive, this is largely because she is a pioneer. Her book is clear and informative, and reflects the sensitiveness she brings to the paintings."
