Description: This expansive collection of essays on nearly 200 works in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art is the first substantial exploration of MoMA's uneven historical relationship with black artists, black audiences, and the broader subject of racial blackness.
Review Quotes: This detailed, well-documented account of MoMA's history of collecting and exhibiting black art reveals historically problematic curatorial attitudes towards black art and artists.--Deirdre Spencer "ARLIS/NA Reviews"
