Black artists have been making major contributions to the British art scene for decades; since at least the middle of the 20th century. Sometimes; these artists - with backgrounds in the countries of Africa; the Caribbean; and South Asia - were regarded and embraced as British practitioners of note and merit. At other times; particularly during the 1970s and 1980s; they were not. In response; on occasion; Britainrsquo;s black artists came together and made their own exhibitions or created their own gallery spaces. In this book; Eddie Chambers tells the story of Britainrsquo;s black artists; from the 1950s onwards; including the contemporary art of Steve McQueen; Chris Ofili and Yinka Shonibare. Black Artists in British Art represents a timely and important contribution to British art history.

GarciaSomeone recommended this book to me after I gave a presentation to a large group that was "OK". After reading this book; I am going to overhaul my presentations. I watched many of Steves presentations on YouTube while reading this book. The combination allowed me to see firsthand what the author was talking about.
