African Art: Postcolonial & Diaspora Theory
UW Art Library guide on finding books, journals, and databases on African Art.
African Art, In Context
We cannot remove art from the social, political, and historical worlds it was produced in. If we are to understand African Art, we must explore postcolonial and diaspora history and theory. These sources help to lay a foundation for that understanding.
You may also wish to explore the Historiography of African Art section of the Start Your Research: Introduction page.
