Summary: Emerging out of the Black Diaspora Visual Arts (BDVA) programme, which began in 2007 and has included exhibitions, arts events, seminars and conferences, this book deals with the contextualization of post-war Black Art against the background of generational shifts as a result of migration across the Diaspora. Further, it presents a particularly Caribbean position on using visual art as a medium for breaking the silences common in the post-colonial constellation of developing countries. Ranging in focus from Barbados to Haiti, and from Jamaica to Curaȧo, it entails a fascinating and relevant art historical discussion from the perspective of its observers and participants.
