British Black Art: Debates on Western Art History

Focusing on the intersection of British Black Art and socio-political history, this work explores how anti-immigration policies and events like the Brixton riots shaped the movement. It analyzes key artworks by Lubaina Himid, Eddie Chambers, and Sonia Boyce, highlighting their critical engagement with Western art history. Art historian Sophie Orlando offers a fresh perspective, aiming to recontextualize this often-overlooked movement and its significance within broader cultural narratives. The book serves as a vital introduction to a marginalized artistic expression.
