“Golden Kingdoms” was published as a compendium to a museum exhibition of the same title displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Having reached a "mid-career" intellectual plateau, I found this exhibition inspirational. It reminded me why I fell in love with ancient Amerindian visual culture as an undergraduate student. The catalog is a stunning object of art in and of itself, but also includes smart essays that undergraduates will find enjoyable and accessible.
