Reviews
"From Beyoncé to Barack Obama, it's hard to think of a black figure who does not owe their prominence, in some measure, to the ethos of 'Black is Beautiful'" --Ekow Eshun, Financial Times "The Brooklyn-born photographer spent his career working to elevate natural black beauty during a time when the fashion industry was resistant." --the Guardian "Together, the exhibition and the monograph are important footnotes to a slogan that has become both a state of mind and a revolutionary movement." -- Hyperallergic "Through Brathwaite's delicate and compassionate eye, the black female form, unadulterated in appearance, gave a new visual language that helped heal centuries-old white-supremacist wounds. The Grandassa models were an idealization of a black female utopia, which reinvigorated a limitless Africa that carried all the dialects, languages, accents, and subcultures within one womb. Brathwaite did not depict the black woman as what she could be, but as what she had always been, her beauty a constant and not something to be fixed." --Morgan Jerkins, Artsy, "The Brooklyn-born photographer spent his career working to elevate natural black beauty during a time when the fashion industry was resistant." --the Guardian, "The Brooklyn-born photographer spent his career working to elevate natural black beauty during a time when the fashion industry was resistant." --the Guardian "Together, the exhibition and the monograph are important footnotes to a slogan that has become both a state of mind and a revolutionary movement." -- Hyperallergic, "Through Brathwaite's delicate and compassionate eye, the black female form, unadulterated in appearance, gave a new visual language that helped heal centuries-old white-supremacist wounds.

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
