Book Description:
Lisa Gail Collins examines the work of contemporary African American women artists at a time when an unprecendented number photographers, filmmakers, painters, installation and mixed media artists have garnered the attention and imagination of the art viewing public. To better understand the significance of this particular historical moment in American visual arts, Collins focuses on four 'problems' that recur when these artists confront their histories: the documentation of truth; the status of the black female body; the relationship between art and cultural contact and change; and the relationship between art and black girlhood. By examining the social and cultural histories which African American women artists engage, Collins hopes to illuminate a dialogue between past and present image makers.
