Bøker av Caitlin Meehye Beach

"A wonderfully written book exploring the creation and circulation of iconic antislavery images. Beach reveals the climate surrounding the production and popularity of sculptures like Forever Free and Abolition of Slavery while bringing the canon of art history to contend with interdisciplinary scholarship about Blackness and racial capitalism. Revelatory and teachable, this book uncovers a long history of art making in the fight for racial justice."--Jasmine Cobb, author of Picture Freedom: Remaking Black Visuality in the Early Nineteenth Century "Sculpture at the Ends of Slavery takes a refreshingly expansive approach to sculpture as global commodification of Black bodies. Drawing from an impressive array of art-historical, theoretical, and political sources, it forges salient insights into the complexities of sculpture's engagement in the fractured rhetoric of slavery and abolition in the nineteenth century."--James Smalls, Professor of Visual Arts, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
