Table of ContentsReviewsWith impressive ease and grace, Winchester guides us through the bold and subtle theories of Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, and Adorno in search of clues for understanding the art of the oppressed. From a brilliant weave of art and theory comes a highly persuasive conclusion that is neither modern nor postmodern: Art gives us a glimpse, however incomplete, into the world of others. -- Cynthia Willett, Emory University Winchester's book tackles a difficult and timely subject-cultural diversity in the evaluation of art, especially in the context of contemporary America. To do so he draws on a wide range of classical and recent aesthetic theories and offers a wealth of examples. His book is as diverse and wide-ranging as its topic, but it is guided by a steady theoretical hand throughout. -- David Carr, Emory University This is an adventurous critical encounter between Continental philosophical aesthetics and some key works from 20th-century black Americans. CHOICE Aesthetics Across the Color Line poses an important and timely question: the question of aesthetic judgements across cultural borders. James Winchester addresses it in original ways. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the intersection of art and politics in the contemporary world. -- Robert Bernasconi, The University of Memphis With impressive ease and grace, Winchester guides us through the bold and subtle theories of Kant, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, and Adorno in search of clues for understanding the art of the oppressed.
