Foreword / Moyo Okediji -- Introduction. Black: the discredited signifier/signified -- Constructing and visualizing race -- The nineteenth century: imaged ideology -- Aunt Jemima, the fantasy black mammy/servant -- Jezebel, 'Olympia,' and the sexualized woman -- Color lines: mapping color consciousness in the art of Archibald Motley Jr. -- The language of appropriation: fantasies and fallacies -- Turning in from the periphery. "In this book, artist and art historian Michael Harris traces black artists' responses to racist imagery across two centuries, from early works by Henry O. Tanner and Archibald J. Motley Jr., in which African Americans are depicted with dignity, to contemporary works by Kara Walker and Michael Ray Charles, in which derogatory images are recycled to controversial effect. The work of these and other artists--such as John Biggers, Jeff Donaldson, Betye Saar, Juan Logan, and Camille Billops--reflects a wide range of perspectives. Examined together, they offer compelling insight into the profound psychological impact of visual stereotypes on the African American community."--Back cover. |
