Weaving disparate topics from sugar and British colonialism to attacks on free speech and Facebook activism and traveling a jagged path across the Americas, Africa, India, and Europe, Natalie Hopkinson, former culture writer for the Washington Post and The Root, argues that art is where the future is negotiated. Part post-colonial manifesto, part history of British Caribbean, part exploration of art in the modern world, A Mouth Is Always Muzzled is a dazzling analysis of the insistent role of art in contemporary politics and life. In crafted, well-honed prose, Hopkinson knits narratives of culture warriors: painter Bernadette Persaud, poet Ruel Johnson, historian Walter Rodney, novelist John Berger, and provocative African American artist Kara Walker, whose homage to the sugar trade Sugar Sphinx electrified American audiences. A Mouth Is Always Muzzled is a moving meditation documenting the artistic legacy generated in response to white supremacy, brutality, domination, and oppression. In the tradition of Paul Gilroy, it is a cri de coeur for the significance of politically bold--even dangerous--art to all people and nations. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism and the arts. 650 0 $a Arts $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Race in art. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism and the arts $z Guyana. 650 0 $a Arts $x Political aspects $z Guyana. 651 0 $a Guyana $x Social conditions $y 1966- 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023437.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012418.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114050.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180703010106.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403022036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1275DE4121D11E8ACF552FF96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
