Description

This Routledge publication examines how African-American writers and visual artists use icon and inscription to re-present the black female body. Traditionally viewed as alien within Western visual and discursive systems, the body is re-examined through the lens of both literature and contemporary art. Brown analyzes the connections between the writings of authors such as Toni Morrison, Gayl Jones, Paule Marshall, Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, Andrea Lee, Gloria Naylor, and Martha Southgate. The text links these literary works to the practices of postmodern visual artists including Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems, Kara Walker, Betye Saar, and Faith Ringgold. This interdisciplinary study provides a deep look at how different media contribute to the representation of identity.
