A response to the dearth of critical writing by African Americans, this book represents hooks' response to the dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticizing art that characterize an art world obsessed with identity politics. The author positions her critiques of art and visual politics within the question of how art can be an empowering and revolutionary force within the black community.
