Aus dem Klappentext

Artist and art historian Michael Harris examines the racial stereotypes prevalent in 19th- and 20th-century American art. He argues that these images substantially reinforced social power and undermined the self-esteem of African Americans. He traces black artists' responses to racist imagery across two centuries and a wide range of perspectives and offers compelling insights into the profound psychological impact of visual stereotypes on the African American community.
