Eddie Chambers is Professor in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Texas at Austin, USA. He has been writing about African Diaspora and Black British art practices for several decades and his scholarship includes Black Artists in British Art (I. B. Tauris, 2014) and Roots and Culture: Cultural Politics in the Making of Black Britain (I. B. Tauris, 2016).
For decades, Eddie Chambers has been synonymous with incisive writing on Afro-Diasporic sonic and visual culture. True to form, the wide-ranging essays in World is Africa - from the aesthetic politics of the 1980s to jazz record sleeves to contemporary art - are at once precise and polemical. This is a vital companion to 1999's Run Through the Jungle, and introduces readers to Chambers's capacious intellectual practice - as pressing as ever, his writing elaborates the ongoing project of righting art history's many elisions. World is Africa is essential reading for anyone interested in Black Atlantic culture and the ever-shifting landscape of diaspora scholarship. -- Ian Bourland, Assistant Professor, Department of Art & Art History, Georgetown University, USA. With Run Through the Jungle, and Things Don Change, Eddie Chambers established himself as perhaps the most trenchant and tenacious commentator on British art of the last two decades. World is Africa should leave no one in doubt about his unmatched authority in the field of Black Diaspora art criticism. -- Chika Okeke-Agulu, Professor, African and American Diaspora Art, Princeton University, USA.
