African Art as Philosophy

“It perfectly articulates all of the answers to the questions one asks oneself when in contact with modern, postmodern, and contemporary Western arts, as well as non-Western traditional arts.” —New York Times Book Review

“Diagne has further entrenched his reputation as a clear-sighted thinker.” —African Studies Review

“The book is an inspiring read with excellent bibliographical references and notes for readings on Negritude that will attract a wide audience of readers. As such, African Art as Philosophy makes an important contribution to African studies from a multidisciplinary perspective.” —African Studies Quarterly
