Part of the acclaimed Routledge Research in Art and Race series, this thought-provoking work is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and scholars of art history, American studies, cultural studies, and race theory. Now available at Books Hub PK, this title is perfect for university courses, research libraries, and readers interested in understanding how Blackness has shaped — and been shaped by — modernist art and cultural movements in the United States.
This book examines how modernist artists and writers in the early to mid-20th century engaged with the complex symbols and narratives surrounding Blackness. It explores the ways in which race, gender, sexuality, and class have historically influenced — and continue to influence — artistic production, interpretation, and cultural politics. Through detailed analysis of key figures, artworks, texts, and cultural moments, the author uncovers the symbolic dimensions of Blackness in American modernism and traces how they inform our understanding of identity and representation today.
Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship, the book situates Blackness not only within the visual arts but also in broader cultural and political discourses. It highlights how artists, critics, and movements navigated stereotypes, resistance, marginalization, and the reimagining of identity. For students and researchers alike, this book provides a crucial framework for critically analyzing American modernism through an intersectional lens.
