Summary: In this illustrated monograph, Herzog (art history, Edgewood College) documents the full range of Catlett's life and work. In addition to thoroughly researching primary source materials and critiquing individual art works, she has conducted numerous interviews with the artist and has analyzed the political context of her work and her diverse sympathies and allegiances. She shows how Catlett transformed an extraordinary stylistic vocabulary into a powerful art that manifests her firm belief that the visual arts can play a role in the construction of a meaningful identity, both transnational and ethnically grounded.
