With over 300 full color images alongside historical context and academic essays, the book establishes a physical archive of the history and the future of Black collage artists. Black Collagists: The Book does not claim to be a complete record, but rather a door that invites others into a conversation about representation in Black collage art, both historically and currently, and challenges others to expand their own research.
“With this dazzling compendium, Teri Henderson has curated an indispensable survey of contemporary Black collage art. Ranging across the African diaspora and through a plethora of styles and approaches, Black Collagists makes a compelling case that collage -- with its recombinatory drive, its contrapuntal imperative, and its bold irreverence -- may be the defining impulse of Black visual aesthetics.”
—Brent Hayes Edwards, author of Epistrophies: Jazz and the Literary Imagination
