Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A critical reexamination of Carpeauxs bust Why Born Enslaved! and other nineteenth-century antislavery imagesthis book interrogates the treatment of the Black figure as a malleable political symbol and locus of exoticized beauty This groundbreaking publication on Jean-Baptiste Carpeauxs (18271875) bust Why Born Enslaved! examines the work in the context of transatlantic abolitionist movements and Frances colonialist fascination with Africa in the nineteenth century. Thoughtful essays by noted art historians and literary scholars, including Adrienne L. Childs, James Smalls, and Wendy S. Walters, unpack European artists engagement with the Black figure, simultaneously evoked as a changeable political symbol and a representation of exoticized beauty and desire. The authors compare Carpeauxs sculpture to works by his contemporaries, such as Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier, Edmonia Lewis, and Louis Simon Boizot, as well as to objects by twenty-first-century artists Kara Walker and Kehinde Wiley. In so doing, the book critically examines the portrayal of Black emancipation and personhood; the commodification of Black images to assert social capital; the role of sculpture in generating the sympathies of its audiences; and the relevance of Carpeauxs sculpture to legacies of empire in the postcolonial present. It will also feature a chronology of events central to the nineteenth-century antislavery movement.
