Abstract
This monograph is a detailed study reviewing the history of the Navajo pottery tradition and the various events and factors that contributed to its decline and subsequent revitalization. The author presents biographical sketches of the lives and works of a select group of contemporary Navajo potters, highlighting some of the finest pottery being made today (1980s). The photographs of Stephen Trimble complement the overall text and especially capture the diversity to be found in the works of late twentieth century Navajo potters.
