Book Synopsis Rethinking America's Past by : Timothy Gruenewald
Download or read book Rethinking America's Past written by Timothy Gruenewald and published by . This book was released on 2019-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While visitors to art and history museums may be there to simply enjoy the curated objects, the question of what is included (and excluded) in these collections and who has the power over this process echoes the struggle for inclusion that is so central to the African American experience. Since its inception, the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection® has played an important role in this struggle, seeking out objects that give voice to previously excluded experiences, and providing an alternative to the limits of institutional collections.Among the first scholarly books dedicated to a private African American collection, Rethinking America's Past: Voices from the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection both chronicles the reach of this important cultural collection and contributes to its project by sharing selected objects and stories with a broader audience. Essays range in subject from iconic African American artists, such as Loïs Mailou Jones and Beauford Delaney, to important historical figures such as FrederickDouglas and Martin Luther King, to individuals whose experiences might be lost to history but for the found objectsthat preserve their stories. Rethinking America's Past demonstrates how the African American story, from slaverythrough the present, is represented and can be actively remembered through the act of collecting.Rethinking America's Past will appeal to audiences interested in African American history as well as art history, but its real power is in linking the two, showing how important collections are in constructing and repairing historical narratives, and how in the words of editor Tim Gruenewald, "Collecting overlooked aspects of our past and sharing such collectionsenables a deeper understanding of the present moment, and facilitates a more inclusive and just future."
