Zusammenfassung:"The Art of Remembering brings together a collection of essays by Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw written over the course of a twenty-year period (2002-2022). The book documents Shaw's own intellectual journey as an African American art historian and considers how desire, delusion, and what she calls re-memory figures in the practices of critical race art history and visual cultural studies. Shaw sees her book as a project that seeks to address the unspeakable traumas of enslavement and to recover the narratives of Black creativity and self-representation that exist outside the American art-historical canon. Shaw's book is organized chronologically and divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the second on the twentieth century, and the third on contemporary work"--
