About this book
Reviews
“Kerman’s book has the most original framing: presenting case studies of four female contemporary British artists of African descent: Magdalene Odundo, Veronica Ryan, Mary Evans, and Maria Amidu. Given that none of these artists have taken up any sort of pronounced proximity to notions of “Black Art”, or consistently exhibited in the particular company of other black artists, Kerman’s book represents a potentially important opportunity to set to one side the oftentimes clumsy or reductive frameworks too often applied to the work and the histories of black British artists.” (Eddie Chambers, Professor, Department and Art and Art History, University of Texas at Austin, USA)
