"The Persistence of Masks considers the ethnographic dimension of the surrealist movement in its formative years, showing how surrealists used the figures of the mask, the veil, the hand, and the hat to radically reconceive the subject. Revealing surrealism to be always implicitly ethnographic, Joyce Suechun Cheng offers new insights that challenge longstanding beliefs about this multifaceted movement in poetry, the arts, and culture"-- Provided by publisher.
