Towards an African Canadian art history : art, memory, and resistance

The first book to consolidate the field of African Canadian Art History. Charmaine A. Nelson and a group of established and up-and-coming artists, scholars, and cultural critics argue for an African Canadian Art History which can simultaneously examine the artistic contributions of black Canadian artists within their unique historical contexts, critique the colonial representation of black subjects by white artists, and contest the customary racial homogeneity of Canadian Art History.
