        Reading the Contemporary: African Art from Theory to the Marketplace

        Olu Oguibe and Okwui Enwezor

        Institute for International Visual Arts (INIVA) & MIT Press 1999

        ISBN 9780262650519

      2. This anthology brings together twenty major essays which lay the long-missing groundwork for a critical art historical understanding of contemporary African art over the past 25 years. Book is broken into sections, which provide a sense of the intellectual and disciplinary reach of the contributions: Theory and Cultural Transaction, History, Location and Practice, and Negotiated Identities.
