Description and Table of Contents
Description
The silhouetted images in Kara Walker's artwork confront America's legacy of racial exploitation with unmistakable clarity. Whether depicting acts of psychosexual violence set against an antebellum plantation backdrop of hanging moss, or cleverly revealing the depth of hatred behind racial stereotypes, Walker's art uses history as its foil. This splendidly designed book presents the artist's work and writings with vivid detail, and offers a valuable introduction to Walker's compelling art.
