With this issue of The International Review of African American Art¸ I hope to provide a current view on the theme of race, representation, the body, and labor in American art, which is a topic that is ongoing and is as relevant as ever today. In our post–millennial era of the Tea Party, Donald Trump, the One Percent, and Black Lives Matter, issues of race relations and the ever–evolving definition of “labor” have taken on a widespread urgency not seen in decades. With this in mind, I am proud to offer a number of excellent contributions from an array of contemporary artists, curators, and academics working in the field. These contributions differ widely in terms of approach and subject matter, and yet I feel that each offers a relevant viewpoint on the subject at hand.
