Author Description

Following the Introduction the book has three Sections: 1 is a platform that gives voce to the previously unheard commentary of Walker's art world peers raising questions of the unbalanced and unquestioning writings rained on Walker's work by most of the art critics. 2 includes excerpts from the critics' biased reviews, interviews and profiles all in lavish praise of Walker for her originality, daring and brilliance. 3 has excerpts from those few critics who dared to question the validity of what had already been showered on Walker. This is followed by an Appendix containing brief histories of Lynching and Minstrelry and biographies of those brave leaders, among many others, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Frederick Douglass, Fannie Lou Hammer, Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman who opened the door that Kara Walker and her current supporters want to close. A section About the Authors closes the book.
