Reviews

“With Black and Gold, Bourland has delivered a most fascinating and provocative work of scholarship. This is a probing, deeply nuanced, and reassuringly thoughtful reflection that deepens our understandings of the practices of several artists of the African Diaspora. The practices of these artists are read against the violent and brutal histories of exploitation and extraction, particularly those relating to gold, a precious metal that continues to fascinate and dominate the world, both culturally and economically. With this book, Bourland underlines his credentials as a leading scholar whose work is engaged and engaging.” —Eddie Chambers, author of World Is Africa: Writings on Diaspora Art
