基本説明
Assembled chronologically, these essays draw upon multiculturalism, postcolonialism and critical race theory to confront the longstanding tradition of art as a means of looking at 'the other'.
Full Description
Race-ing Art History is the first comprehensive anthology to place issues of racial representation squarely on the canvas. Art produced by non-Europeans has naturally been compared to Western art and its study, which refers to a binary way of viewing both. Each essay in this collection is a response to this vision, to the distant mirror of looking at the other.
