Cooks analyzes the curatorial strategies, challenges, and critical receptions of the most significant museum exhibitions of African American art. Tracing two dominant methodologies used to exhibit art by African Americans--an ethnographic approach that focuses more on artists than their art, and a recovery narrative aimed at correcting past omissions--Cooks exposes the issues involved in exhibiting cultural difference that continue to challenge art history, historiography, and American museum exhibition practices. By further examining the unequal and often contested relationship between African American artists, curators, and visitors, she provides insight into the complex role of art museums and their accountability to the cultures they represent."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aArt museums$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American art$xExhibitions$xSocial aspects 606 $aArt and society$zUnited States 606 $aArt and race 615 0$aArt museums$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican American art$xExhibitions$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aArt and society 615 0$aArt and race. 676 $a704.03/96073 700 $aCooks$b Bridget R.$f1972-$01516253 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788675003321 996 $aExhibiting blackness$93752594 997 $aUNINA
