This book offers the first concentrated examination of the
representation of the black female subject in Western art through
the lenses of race/color and sex/gender. Charmaine A. Nelson poses
critical questions about the contexts of production, the problems
of representation, the pathways of circulation and the consequences
of consumption. She analyzes not only how, where, why and by whom
black female subjects have been represented, but also what the
social and cultural impacts of the colonial legacy of racialized
western representation have been. Nelson also explores and
problematizes the issue of the historically privileged white
artistic access to black female bodies and the limits of
representation for these subjects. This book not only reshapes our
understanding of the black female representation in Western Art,
but also furthers our knowledge about race and how and why it is
(re)defined and (re)mobilized at specific times and places
throughout history.
