Creating Her Own Image argues that, for centuries, African American women artists have, through their artistic production, created an alternate vision of how women of color should be preceived in American culture. This synthesis, organised chronologically, covers major themes in African major artistic movements, such as abstract art, vernacular art and postmodernism in painting, sculpture, and other forms.
