The Routledge Companion to African American Art History

The Routledge Companion to African American Art History, 1st Edition, outlines the primary areas of enquiry within the subject of African American art history. Part of the Routledge Art History and Visual Studies Companions series, the volume investigates the formation, academic study, and institutional presentation of the field.

The work addresses how African American art has been constructed across a century of published scholarship and examines how it is taught and researched in academia. It also surveys how this art is reflected in museums and art galleries while expanding understandings of what is meant by African American art.

Prepared for graduate students, researchers, and professors, the book is designed for courses in American art, African American art, visual culture, and culture.
