Description
Summary:Across the centuries, the acts and arts of Black heroism have inspired a provocative, experimental, and self-reflexive intellectual, political, and aesthetic tradition. In this book, the author illuminates the ways in which six iconic men and women - Toussaint Louverture, Nathaniel Turner, Sengbe Pieh, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman - challenged the dominant conceptualizations of their histories and played a key role in the construction of an alternative visual and textual archive.
