"Going There: Black Visual Satire is the first book-length investigation of visual forms of satire produced by African American artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Though authors have explored literary satire by black writers of the same period, few books discuss visual forms of satire, and none attempt to cover this subject as fully as Richard J. Powell. Powell argues that the art of satire has a distinctly African American lineage, both as a form of countering anti-black racism and as an introspective critique of African American life. Taking on some of the most controversial artworks of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in all their complexity, humor, and provocation, Powell raises important questions about art's reception and repercussions"--,Provided by publisher.
