A kaleidoscopic survey of black satire in 20th- and 21st-century
American art In this groundbreaking study, Richard J. Powell
investigates the visual forms of satire produced by black artists
in 20th- and 21st-century America. Underscoring the historical use
of visual satire as antiracist dissent and introspective critique,
Powell argues that it has a distinctly African American lineage.
Taking on some of the most controversial works of the past
century-in all their complexity, humor, and provocation-Powell
raises important questions about the social power of art. Expansive
in both historical reach and breadth of media presented, Going
There interweaves discussions of such works as the midcentury
cartoons of Ollie Harrington, the installations of Kara Walker, the
paintings of Robert Colescott, and the movies of Spike Lee. Other
artists featured in the book include David Hammons, Arthur Jafa,
Beverly McIver, Howardena Pindell, Betye Saar, and Carrie Mae
Weems. Thoroughly researched and rich in context, Going There is
essential reading in the history of satire, racial politics, and
contemporary art. Published in association with the Hutchins Center
for African & African American Research
