Since the 2002 repatriation of the remains of Sara Baartman to post-apartheid South Africa, the interest in the figure of Black Venus has skyrocketed, making her a key symbol for the restoration of the racialized female body in feminist, anti-racist and postcolonial terms.0Edited by Jorunn Gjerden, Kari Jegerstedt, and Zeljka Svrljuga, this volume considers Black Venus as a product of art established and potentially refigured through aesthetic practices, following her travels through different periods, geographies and art forms from Baudelaire to Kara Walker, and from the Caribbean to Scandinavia.0Contributors: Kjersti Aarstein, Carmen Birkle, Jorunn Svensen Gjerden, Kari Jegerstedt, Ulla Angkjaer Jorgensen, Ljubica Matek, Margery Vibe Skagen, Camilla Erichsen Skalle, Zeljka Svrljuga. 650 0 $a Women, Black, in art. 650 0 $a Feminine beauty (Aesthetics) 700 1 $a Gjerden, Jorunn Svensen, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2008011661 700 1 $a Jegerstedt, Kari, $d 1963- $e editor. 700 1 $a SÌvrljuga, ZÌeljka, $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/nb2002043262 830 0 $a Cross/cultures ; $v 210. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n90714752 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021628.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EBDBD576083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
