Description
The discovery of manifestly exotic, narrow, baryon resonances challenged our understanding of low-energy Quantum Chromodynamics. We review the history up to their experimental detection, the contro-versies between various experiments, and some views about their structure. We emphasize, within a conventional constituent quark description, the role of multi-quark correlations and a possible dynami-cal intepretation of them.
