Patricia A. Banks traverses the New York and Atlanta art worlds to
uncover how black identities are cultivated through black art
patronage. Drawing on over 100 in-depth interviews, observations at
arts events, and photographs of art displayed in homes, Banks
elaborates a racial identity theory of consumption that highlights
how upper-middle class blacks forge black identities for themselves
and their children through the consumption of black visual art. She
not only challenges common assumptions about elite cultural
participation, but also contributes to the heated debate about the
significance of race for elite blacks, and illuminates recent art
world developments. In doing so, Banks documents how the salience
of race extends into the cultural life of even the most
socioeconomically successful blacks.
