This beautifully written study focuses on the life and public sculpture of Meta Warrick Fuller (1877-1968), one of the early twentieth century's few African American women artists. To understand Fuller's strategy for negotiating race, history, and visual representation, Renee Ater examines the artist's contributions to three early twentieth-century expositions: the Warwick Tableaux, a set of dioramas for the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition (1907); Emancipation, a freestanding group for the National Emancipation Exposition (1913); and Ethiopia, the figure of a single female for the America's Making Exposition (1921). Ater argues that Fuller's efforts to represent black identity in art provide a window on the Progressive Era and its heated debates about race, national identity, and culture.

"Recommended." -- K.N. Pinder Choice "An important sourcebook on this otherwise under-recognized artist." -- Linda Kim CAA Reviews "Impressive and important... Ater makes a noteworthy contribution to African American art history." -- James Smalls, University of Maryland AHAA: Association Of Historians Of American Art "An examplar of a more integrated art history. [Ater] is especially gifted with compartive stylistic and incographic analysis of period sculpture." -- John Ott Art Bulletin
