Richard Powell’s deeply learned and brilliantly written text dances alertly through the minefield of stereotype and caricature to reveal the critical power of satire.”—W. J. T. Mitchell, author of \u003ci\u003eSeeing Through Race\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMental Traveler: A Father, a Son, and a Journey through Schizophrenia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eGoing There\u003c\/i\u003e is a groundbreaking study of African-American visual satire. Powell presents a comprehensive, rigorous, and well-researched investigation into this thorny arena, illuminating some of the most controversial artworks of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.”—Derek Conrad Murray, author of \u003ci\u003eQueering Post-Black Art: Artists Transforming African-American Identity After Civil Rights\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With a steady hand, Powell grounds the tradition of black visual satire in its historical, political, and discursive context. But he doesn’t drain the images of their risk. Powell honors the intelligence and audacity of the works and their creators and, most importantly, gives black satire its full historical, aesthetic, and political due.”—Mike Sell, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Avant-Garde: Race, Religion, War\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Satire and the black condition. An endless quagmire of slippery slopes, and inverted dialogues. Richard Powell skillfully dissects the social dynamics of humor in the black context demonstrating how we are perpetrators, and those perpetrated upon. It is a must read for all Americans willing to implicate themselves.
