    • Abstract:
      Discusses three recent texts dealing with images of African Americans in contemporary art and media, arguing that there is a lack of black critics who can truly fulfill the role of criticism and interpret culture to create popular appeal. Suggests that black critics must interpret art for whites and then re-interpret it for blacks. (BCY)
