Black Phoenix: Third World Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Culture
Facsimile edition.
W037187 | $24.00 / 10% library disc.
Rasheed Araeen. Primary Information, Brooklyn, 2022.
104 pp. Well Illustrated (all B&W). 30 x 21 cm. In English. Paperback.
ISBN 9781736534670
Published in three issues between 1978 and 1979, Black Phoenix: Journal of Contemporary Art & Culture in the Third World (the subtitle was changed to Third World Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Culture for its second and third issues) stands as a key document of its time. More than a decade after ’60s liberation movements and the historic Bandung and Tricontinental Conferences that called for social and political alignment and solidarity to dismantle Western imperialism and (neo)colonialism, Black Phoenix issued a rallying call for the formation of a Third World, liberatory arts and culture movement on the eve of Margaret Thatcher’s election in 1979.Based in the UK, and both international and national in scope, Black Phoenix positioned diasporic and colonial histories at the center of an evolving anti-racist and anti-imperialist consciousness in late 1970s Britain—one that would yield complex and nuanced discourses on race, class and postcolonial theory in England in the decade that followed.
Subject Headings: Eastern and Western European Art ; Western Art -- Great Britain -- Post-1945 ; Post-1970 -- Several Fine Arts Media (Western) -- Other Non-American Minority --
