Book Synopsis
Critiques Eurocentrism in the prevailing art-culture system and reexamines the culture wars within the context of Hollywood, and the dominant U.S. cultural milieu.

Trade Review
"In this critique of aesthetics and the politics of representation, Taylor demonstrates astonishing breadth and depth in arguing for 'breaking the aesthetic contract' that excludes anything that does not conform to Eurocentric notions of beauty... it brings to black studies and cultural critique an internationalism that emphasizes the richness of forms of creative expression outside the norms set by European aesthetics. Highly recommended ..." --Choice
