C.,1948-editor.(CARDINAL)195877; Gates, Henry Louis,Jr.,editor.(CARDINAL)162666; Hutchins Center for African and African American Research.(CARDINAL)344164;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction / David Bindman -- Part I. Africa. Images of Africans by and of themselves : historical and comparative factors / Suzanne Preston Blier ; The body in African art / Kristina Van Dyke ; Masquerade in Sub-Saharan Africa / John Picton ; The image of the Black in early African photography / Christraud M.

Robbins ; The image of the Black in Chinese art / Don J. Wyatt ; The image of the Black in Japanese art : from the beginnings to 1850 / Timon Screech ; The image of the Black in Japanese art : nineteenth century to the present day / Alicia Volk.The book moves beyond the "West", that is to say Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean, to consider the art of Africa and the world to the east, to represent and place in historical context images of people of sub-Saharan African descent. The question remains: what does it mean for an artist of African descent to make an image of him or herself, or another person of African descent, as opposed to an image of a Black person created by an artist who is not Black? This vexed question has been at the heart of debates about "identity politics" for a very long time. In other words, in collecting images of Black subjects created by Black artists, whether from Africa or the African diaspora, we are not making epistemological or ontological claims about a work of art's so-called "authenticity," nor of its artistic quality. We simply see these works as their own canon, as another way of organizing viewing and explicating images of the Black subject in art, one related to Euro-American traditions of representation, but simultaneously with an order and history of their own as well, in the same way that a novel, let's say, by Toni Morrison exists simultaneously in the canon of American literature and of African American literature, among other literary traditions.--

The snail / by Hughes, Emily(Emily M.),author,illustrator.;
Includes bibliographical references."Isamu Noguchi is one of the most important sculptors of all time. This is his story. Noguchi was a Japanese American artist who gave the world light. But the world was not so giving in return. Growing up mixed-race, born in the United States and raised in Japan, Noguchi found himself perceived as an outsider who did not belong in either country. Unable to identify fully as either Japanese or American, he turned to his art to shape, hold, and create light-to conquer the darkness without. Poetic and searing, heart-wrenching and exquisite, Emily Hughes's paean to creativity explores emotions ravaged by a history of Japanese incarceration, the effects of personal isolation, and the power of art to heal those wounds"--Ages 5-8Grades 4-6510L
