Recenzii
"In this critique of aesthetics and the politics of representation, Taylor demonstrates astonishing breadth and depth in arguing for 'breaking the aesthetic contract' that excludes anything that does not conform to Eurocentric notions of beauty. . . . it brings to black studies and cultural critique an internationalism that emphasizes the richness of forms of creative expression outside the norms set by European aesthetics. Highly recommended . . ." --Choice

Descriere
Scholar Clyde Taylor exposes the concept of "art" as a device employed by Euro-American culture to dominate historical interpretation. He challenges the history of aesthetics as a recent invention of privileged Western consumerism. Examining various texts, Taylor demonstrates how rationales of "art" are used to mask personal, class, and cultural biases.
