Over 150 works by 49 African-American and Caribbean artists were included in the exhibition--that visited four museums through 1991--ail of which are illustrated in this catalogue that also contains six essays by E.B. Gaither, R.A. Ferry, A.J. Wardlaw, W. Ferris, U. Stebich, and R.F. Thompson. A very important, beautifully produced volume of essays and illustrations on an unstudied theme.
