Reviews
A groundbreaking text allowing the reader, through the eyes of the creators, to encounter and understand history through an art form whose use by a people has been largely unexplored. What a powerful gift to the study of ceramics, specifically, and art as a whole., Reveals the genius and the beauty of the ceramics artistry that Black artisans brought to the United States via the transatlantic slave trade, while also revealing its influences on Black American ceramists and ceramists in general in the 19th and 20th centuries. . . . Will serve as one of the most important resources for anyone interested in this subject matter., The name for the feeling I got came to me: Sankofa, the Akan word derived from the words return, go, look, seek, and take. The book does just that, moving us from 1738 to modern day, from Africa to America and beyond, signifying and testifying to Black America's innumerable contributions to ceramic art. A celebration of culture, the book is a joy to read., The authors have given us a great gift here: a wonderful compendium . . . may it be the first of many volumes exploring this topic neglected for far too long.
