Representing the Black Female Subject in Western Art

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Charmaine A. Nelson analyzes not only how, where, why and by whom black female subjects have been represented in Western art, but also what the social and cultural impacts of the colonial legacy of racialized western representation have been. She poses critical questions about the contexts of production, the problems of representation, the pathways of circulation and the consequences of consumption.
