How art played a central role in the design of America's racial enterprise-and how contemporary artists resist it. � Art has long played a key role in constructing how people understand and imagine America. Starting with contemporary controversies over public monuments in the United States, Rebecca Zorach carefully examines the place of art in the occupation of land and the upholding of White power in the US, arguing that it has been central to the design of America's racial enterprise. Confronting closely held assumptions of art history, Zorach looks to the intersections of art, nature, race, and place, working through a series of symbolic spaces-the museum, the wild, islands, gardens, home, and walls and borders-to open and extend conversations on the political implications of art and design. � Against the backdrop of central moments in American art, from the founding of early museums to the ascendancy of abstract expressionism, Zorach shows how contemporary artists-including Dawoud Bey, Theaster Gates, Maria Gaspar, Kerry James Marshall, Alan Michelson, Dylan Miner, Postcommodity, Cauleen Smith, and Amanda Williams-have mined the relationship between environment and social justice, creating works that investigate and interrupt White supremacist, carceral, and environmentally toxic worlds. The book also draws on poetry, creative nonfiction, hip-hop videos, and Disney films to illuminate crucial topics in art history, from the racial politics of abstraction to the origins of museums and the formation of canons. �

Gorgeous!
Color: Crown Script, Size: 50"x70"
I absolutely love this blanket! It’s of a perfect thickness - not so thick that you get really hot but it’s not too thin either so it’s definitely not cheap looking. It’s just right. The color pink is perfect, too. It’s that beautiful, pale, pale pink that’s so soft and attractive looking. And it’s super, super cuddly soft! Perfect for snuggling up with. I love the design, too. It has black crowns everywhere, all over the blanket, and gray polkadots in the background and then “Juicy Couture” written in black cursive all over it as well. I actually bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas because she loves Juicy Couture. I just know she is going to adore this blanket. So happy with my purchase! Definitely worth the price.

Soft and fluffy after a wash & dry

Perfect, lightweight and warm. I got this for a chaise that I use. It’s not thick, but enough to keep you warm and cozy if you’re just reading and relaxing. I washed it and dried it as soon as I took it out of the box. It fluffed out perfectly, so don’t be fooled by the flattened squishy blanket that arrives. It doesn’t shed, which is a bonus.
