More than two hundred works from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, produced either by black artists or in response to race-related subjects, are reproduced in this volume, each accompanied by newly commissioned writing from a wide array of acclaimed authors. These plates are preceded by two historical essays: the first, by Charlotte Barat and Darby English, traces the history of MoMA's encounters with race since its founding, from an early commitment to African art, and solo exhibitions devoted to artists such as William Edmondson and Jacob Lawrence, in the 1930s and 1940s, through the Museum's activities during the period of the Civil Rights Movement, to the controversial \u003cem\u003ePrimitivism\u003c\/em\u003e show of 1984 and beyond; the second, by Mabel O. Wilson, scrutinizes MoMA's record in collecting the work of black architects and designers. \u003cem\u003eAmong Others\u003c\/em\u003e confronts two kinds of truth: one factual, the other moral. Equal parts historical investigation and truth telling, this book is a searching examination of MoMA's history in the cultural politics of race. 488 pp.; 300 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo look inside this book, click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/d\/pdfs\/W1siZiIsIjIwMTkvMDgvMTQvNThja21wYjZzel9BbW9uZ090aGVyc19QREZfc2FtcGxlLnBkZiJdXQ\/AmongOthers_PDF_sample.pdf?sha=8c897b05e37d78b9\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44169798484198,"sku":"900034-900034","price":77.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/900034_a_b0926008-dbc0-4caa-97f8-0cfd4e188f61.jpg?v=1704232892","url":"https:\/\/store.moma.org\/en-si\/products\/among-others-blackness-at-moma-hardcover","provider":"MoMA Design Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
