Black Artists in Their Own Words

Lisa Farrington has conceptualized an unprecedented anthology in the voices of Black artists and scholars who have made an impact in art, its history and criticism, and philosophical discourse worldwide."--Freida High Wasikhongo Tesfagiorgis, artist and art historian
