- Description
- Using an analysis of stereotypes of Africans and African-Americans in western art and culture as a springboard, Farrington details hundreds of important works -many of which deliberately challenge these same identity myths, of the carnal Jezebel, the asexual Mammy, the imperious Matriarch- in crafting a portrait of artistic creativity of African-American women, from slavery to the present day.
