• Summary:Whitewalling: Art, Race, & Protest in 3 Acts reflects on three incidents in the long and troubled history of art and race in America. It lays bare how the art world - no less than the country at large - has persistently struggled with the politics of race, and the ways this struggle has influenced how museums, curators and artists wrestle with notions of free speech and the specter of censorship. Whitewalling takes a critical and intimate look at these three "acts" in the history of the American art scene and ask: when we speak of artistic freedom and the freedom of speech, who, exactly, is free to speak?--Publisher's description.
