This book explores the notable roles that contemporary British
artists of African descent have played in the multicultural context
of postwar Britain. In four key case studies- Magdalene Odundo,
Veronica Ryan, Mary Evans, and Maria Amidu-Monique Kerman charts
their impact through analysis of works, activities, and
exhibitions. The author elucidates each of the artists' creative
response to their unique experience and examines how their work
engages with issues of history, identity, diaspora, and the
distillation of diverse cultural sources. The study also includes a
comparative discussion of art broadly defined as "black British,"
in order to question assumptions concerning racial and ethnic
identities that the artists often negotiate through their
works-particularly the expectation or "burden" of representing
minority or marginalized communities. Readers are thus challenged
to unburden the artists herein and celebrate their work on its own
terms.
