Recenzii

The title of this revolutionary textbook, This Is America, communicates its mission to introduce readers to both well-known and previously-overlooked artists and their works. Each chapter juxtaposes examples in different media and from varying regions of the Americas with references to relevant historical, art historical, and theoretical scholarship. By showcasing traditionally marginalized creators and their arts and craft practices, the book diversifies a traditionally exclusive American art canon.
This text is an excellent thematic approach to art of the United States in its ability to surface marginalized groups, while also being critical of how these people have been treated previously by anthropology and art history. One exciting aspect of the textbook is its Contemporary Connections in each chapter that demonstrate to students how art of the past is still relevant today.
This is America: Re-Viewing the Art of the United States decentralizes American art history by focusing on voices often excluded from the traditional narrative. Through their rich use of images, history, and contemporary connections, the authors have created a more inclusive approach to American history by contextualizing these stories within the traditional tale of American art.
This Is America brings artists and artworks into dynamic, unexpected conversations using themes and subjects that are highly relevant in today's world. This book will challenge students to rethink what they know about American art history, and it emphasizes the importance of understanding art as a critical reflection of American culture.
