World is Africa brings together more than 30 important texts by
Eddie Chambers, who for several decades has been an original and a
critical voice within the field of African diaspora art history.
The texts range from book chapters and catalogue essays, to shorter
texts. Chambers focuses on contemporary artists and their
practices, from a range of international locations, who for the
most part are identified with the African diaspora. None of the
texts are available online and none have been available outside of
the original publication in which they first appeared. The volume
contains several new pieces of writing, including a consideration
of the art world 'fetishization' of the 1980s, as the manifestation
of a reluctance to accept the majority of Black British artists as
valid individual practitioners, choosing instead to shackle them to
exhibitions that took place three decades ago. Another new text
re-examines the 'map paintings' of Frank Bowling, the Guyana-born
artist who was the subject of a major retrospective at Tate Britain
in 2019. The third introduces the little-known record sleeve
illustrations of Charles White, the American artist who was the
subject of a major retrospective in 2018 at major galleries across
the US. Among the other new texts is a critical reflection on the
patronage the Greater London Council extended to Black artists in
1980s London. World is Africa makes a valuable contribution to the
emerging discipline of black British art history, the field of
African diaspora studies and African diaspora art history.
