    Read of the Month

           "I find art history is too often focused on art in the Western tradition. What this book illustrates is that by shifting the lens, structures of art-historical thought can be reevaluated, reconfigured and augmented. With over 30 important texts, Eddie Chambers provides a compelling case for reinterpreting the canon by understanding and appreciating the global, multifaceted dimension of Afro-Diasporic art."
