In the 1960s, art patron Dominique de Menil founded an image archive showing the ways that people of African descent have been represented in Western art. Highlights from her collection appeared in three large-format volumes that quickly became collector s items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du Bois Institute are proud to publish a complete set of ten sumptuous books, including new editions of the original volumes and two additional ones. "Europe and the World Beyond" focuses geographically on peoples of South America and the Mediterranean as well as Africa but conceptually it emphasizes the many ways that visual constructions of blacks mediated between Europe and a faraway African continent that was impinging ever more closely on daily life, especially in cities and ports engaged in slave trade. "The Eighteenth Century "features a particularly rich collection of images of Africans representing slavery s apogee and the beginnings of abolition. Old visual tropes of a master with adoring black slave gave way to depictions of Africans as victims and individuals, while at the same time the intellectual foundations of scientific racism were established.
This illustrated gift title is for expectant parents or frazzled new parents who might need a little support during their first year of parenthood. Featuring Helene the Illustrator's honest illustrations, each chapter looks at the different aspects of life with a new baby, from the first days of the newborn bubble through to the unbelievable milestone of their first birthday. Helene began illustrating her experiences of motherhood after the birth of her daughter. She found herself frequently scrolling through Instagram and finding she couldn't relate to the picture-perfect mothers who littered her feed. She started sharing her art and was stunned by the response she received, from new parents who felt just like she did. Helene's supportive, honest, empowering (and sometimes sweary) account of life with a new child unites parents from around the globe. While all parents, babies and births are different many of the emotions of new parenthood are universal. We are not alone, we're all in the same club and we've all got to do what we've got to do. We're all just making it up as we go along, hoping for the best! In The Club is the hug, hot cup of tea - or massive glass of wine - that new parents who feel overwhelmed and under-qualified need.
