review: Editorial Reviews Review “A fascinating story of the changing image of Africa’s people in Western art. The images are simply extraordinary and the scholarship inspiring. Anyone who cares about Western art or about Africa and her diaspora ought to know these magnificent volumes.” ― Kwame Anthony Appiah “In addition to being an indispensable guide to the evolving meanings of racial difference, these dazzling volumes filled with extraordinary images and rich arguments contribute to an alternative history of the Western world. An invaluable gift for both specialists and general readers.” ― Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness “ The Image of the Black in Western Art [is] a truly epic project… The series, scheduled for completion in 2014, is, so far, as eye-opening to view as it is to read and, one volume at a time, could be the answer to gift gifting for several years to come.” ― Holland Cotter , New York Times About the Author David Bindman is Emeritus Professor of the History of Art at University College London.
