The book documents Shaw's own intellectual journey as an African American art historian and considers how desire, delusion, and what she calls re-memory figures in the practices of critical race art history and visual cultural studies. Shaw sees her book as a project that seeks to address the unspeakable traumas of enslavement and to recover the narratives of Black creativity and self-representation that exist outside the American art-historical canon. Shaw's book is organized chronologically and divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the second on the twentieth century, and the third on contemporary work"--

Slavery, sugar, and the culture of refinement : picturing the British West Indies, 1700-1840 / by Kriz, Kay Dian,1945-author.(CARDINAL)855719; Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art,issuing body.(CARDINAL)146218; Yale University Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)332061;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-273) and index."This book asks new questions about paintings and prints associated with the British West Indies between 1700 and 1840, when the trade in sugar and slaves was the most active and profitable. In a wide-ranging study of scientific illustrations, scenes of daily life, caricatures, and landscape imagery, Dian Kriz analyses the visual culture of refinement that accompanied the brutal process in which African slaves transformed 'rude' sugar cane into pure white crystals. These works variously imagine Britain's Caribbean colonies as curious, frightening, deadly, pleasurable and even funny for viewers on both sides of the Atlantic."--Jacket

Includes bibliographical references."Afro-Atlantic Histories" brings together a selection of more than 400 works and documents by more than 200 artists from the 16th to the 21st centuries that express and analyze the ebbs and flows between Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. The book is motivated by the desire and need to draw parallels, frictions, and dialogues around the visual cultures of Afro-Atlantic territories--their experiences, creations, worshiping, and philosophy. The so-called Black Atlantic, to use the term coined by Paul Gilroy, is geography lacking precise borders, a fluid field where African experiences invade and occupy other nations, territories, and cultures. The plural and polyphonic quality of "histórias" is also of note; unlike the English "histories," the word in Portuguese carries a double meaning that encompasses both fiction and nonfiction, personal, political, economic, and cultural, as well as mythological narratives.
